Palm Coast’s favorite eco-friendly tradition is turning 20—and the City is inviting residents to dig in and celebrate! The 20th Annual Arbor Day Celebration takes place Saturday, May 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Central Park in Town Center (975 Central Avenue, Palm Coast, FL 32164).
This milestone event honors two decades of environmental stewardship with a variety of free, family-friendly activities designed to promote sustainability and community spirit.
Residents can take home a free 3-gallon tree from Flowing Well Tree Farm by donating a non-perishable food item to support the local food bank. Trees are available while supplies last, so early arrival is encouraged.
The celebration includes:
- A walk-through butterfly tent and 11 a.m. butterfly release
- Free paper shredding
- Live performances by the Palm Coast Community Band and The Dance Method
- A children’s activity tent, a petting zoo, and free crafts
- Ax throwing for adventurous guests
- Food and beverages are available for purchase
- Native Plant and Herb available for purchase
“For 20 years, Palm Coast’s Arbor Day has been about celebrating our environment, giving back, and bringing the community together,” said Carol Mini, City of Palm Coast Urban Forester. “This year, we’re making it bigger and better than ever, and we can’t wait to celebrate with everyone!”
Don’t miss this special day dedicated to trees, nature, and the Palm Coast community. The City of Palm Coast also wishes to give a special thank you to our incredible sponsors: Verdego, Florida Forest Service, Freese and Nichols, Cline Construction, Tractor Supply, and The Home Depot.
