The eighth annual EcoFest, an Earth Day celebration, will be held from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. April 22 in the New Bohemia district of Cedar Rapids.
The event features environmental education and fun with themes in sustainability, alternative energy, arts and local food. Visitors can participate in kid-friendly interactive displays, an Eco-film fest hosted at CSPS, a live music lineup, information on pollinators, a live raptor show, a nature play area and more.
