The Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA) welcomed thousands of guests to its 33rd annual Earth Day Festival on Sunday, April 27. Held at the ACUA Environmental Park, the event ran from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and brought together families, educators, vendors, and environmental advocates for a day of learning and celebration.
The festival featured more than 200 vendors, including local artisans, nonprofit organizations, and environmental groups. Attendees enjoyed live entertainment, interactive performances, free family games, and hands-on educational activities. Popular attractions included bounce houses, a gem and mineral show, a petting zoo, nature walks, and the always-popular Touch-A-Truck display of ACUA vehicles.
Visitors also had the opportunity to tour ACUA’s wastewater treatment facility in Atlantic City and view renewable energy projects in action. Free workshops throughout the day covered topics such as sustainability, recycling, and conservation.
