TreeFest

TreeFest is Louisville's annual Arbor Day celebration that showcases the importance of trees and the roles they play in our lives through creative, informative, and fun-filled activities and events for people of all ages. This year we will engage volunteers to plant and mulch trees in Petersburg Park, as well as offer family- friendly activities such as tree climbing, eco-friendly vendor booths, a tree giveaway, and the opportunity to learn from different “green” organizations in our city. Live music, food and drinks are also available, making for an ideal afternoon to sit in a park and take in the scenery. We would like to thank our event sponsors, Schneider Electric, Republic Bank, Parks Alliance of Louisville, Louisville Tree Service & Michters Distillery and LG&E, for helping us make this happen.
