Earth Day is coming up this Saturday and you can spend it in the great outdoors at the annual Earth Day Festival in Toronto.

Held at Downsview Park, this free festival is a one-day celebration of our planet and the environment.

This yearly event has all kinds of events and hands-on activities that are both fun and educational for visitors of all ages.

“This event is a great opportunity to learn about ways to reduce your environmental footprint, connect with like-minded individuals and organizations, and celebrate our planet,” the description says.

This weekend’s event will feature activities like tree planting, painting, Trishaw rides, a guided nature walk, seedball making, an Earth Day scavenger hunt, and more.

The vendor market will feature sustainable businesses selling eco-friendly products.
