KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C.—Kiawah Island Golf Resort announced that its second annual Earth Day celebration will take place on April 24, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Night Heron Park. The Kiawah Island Earth Fest features local vendors selling eco-friendly products, artists showcasing works based on the environment, and live entertainment.
The event includes the Trashformation Station, where guests can spark their creativity by using clean recyclables and various donated items to construct pieces of art. Trashformation judging and a grand prizewinner will be announced at the end of the festival on the Night Heron Park Stage. Recycling and environmental demonstrations, contests and games will be held throughout the event. A donation station and bike maintenance workshops will also be set up by Holy City Bike Co-Op. Food and clothing collections are being accepted the day of the event for Charleston County charities.
This event coincides with the Kiawah Island Community Association’s “Cars in the Park” event showcasing rare, antique and exotic cars from all over the world. Environmentally friendly cars will also be present in Night Heron Park. Admission for both events is complimentary.
“Kiawah Earth Fest is an enjoyable and informative family friendly event,” explains Liz King, Kiawah’s recreation and outdoor programs director. “We created Earth Fest to be relaxed and intimate so our participants can take the time to truly get to know our vendors and artists. We hope that everyone will come away with information on how they can make positive changes to help their pocketbook, our planet, and be a responsible member of our community.”
