Celebrate Earth Day in Old Town Manassas

Sign up for the Manassas Patch newsletter!

It’s that time of year to let the fresh air in, clean those closets out and rejuvenate!

In honor of Earth Day, Historic Downtown Manassas announces the 8th Annual Live Well Festival (formerly Spring Cleaning Day) on Saturday, April 18th.

Start your morning with a 5K Run (the Soaring Eagle 5K) and then head on over to the Harris Pavilion in Old Town for free health screenings, fitness classes, kid activities, entertainment and more. The events take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The historic downtown merchants will also be hosting their biannual sidewalk sale!

Recycle those gently used household items or clothes to a worthy cause, visit with the recycling and environmental exhibitors, and help the kids make Earth-friendly art projects. The day includes exhibitors from non-profit and civic organizations providing recycling and environmental information.

Also, Historic Manassas Inc. will once again partner with the City of Manassas in a community shred. The shredding truck will be located on West Street (between Center and Church Street). Attendees are asked to park in the back of the BB&T parking lot and form a line along West Street to drop off their documents to be shredded.
