Earth Day Celebration Saturday In Middletown Twp.

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —Earth Day may have come on Monday, but that doesn't mean that some Lower Bucks County communities aren't still celebrating.

The township's yearly Earth Day Celebration will be held on Saturday at Core Creek Park.

The gathering serves as a reminder that everyone plays a role as stewards of the environment.

The day features live entertainment, local organizations, and businesses showcasing eco-friendly practices, along with giveaways, kid-friendly activities, and more.

Anyone with questions should reach out to the Middletown Parks & Recreation at 215-750-3890.

"Join us in fostering a stronger connection to our environment and promoting sustainable practices at this vibrant Earth Day Celebration," township officials said.

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection.

First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by EARTHDAY.ORG, including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries.

Many local communities hold Earth Day events usually during weekends in April either before or after the holiday. The official theme for 2024 is "Planet vs. Plastics."

Meanwhile, Middletown Township has announced that the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission's "PHRC on the Road: Building Pennsylvania's Beloved Community" event has been canceled on April 30 by the PHRC.
