Easton Park is thrilled to host and be part of the City of Austin’s annual event series celebrating environmental education and practices in honor of Arbor Day and Monarch Day.
The Roots & Wings Festival is an event series led by the community in neighborhoods all over Austin. It's dedicated to celebrating nature in our neighborhoods and embracing the idea that we are all connected to each other and our local ecosystem.
While you're here, create beautiful eco-friendly crafts to cherish and take home, and embrace the opportunity to engage in interactive workshops on composting, sustainable gardening, and more.
This event is made possible by the generous support of our partners and sponsors who share our passion for a greener future.
