Green Day Celebration | May First Fridays

Friday, May 1, 5 – 9 p.m.

Outdoor adventures abound at this First Fridays environmental extravaganza! The Green Day Celebration features an abundance of green events and activities, including tree climbing and biking, a tree giveaway, an electric vehicle showcase, environmental discussions, and live music spotlighting local, homegrown bands and Goshen Elementary School choirs.

Entertainment

This environmental extravaganza, in collaboration with the Goshen Shade Tree Board and The Environmental Resilience Department, features many celebrations of the outdoors and sustainability awareness events and is centered on the Courthouse lawn. Be sure to head a block south to check out an Electric Vehicle Showcase presented by MACOG or park your bike at our complimentary Bike Valet station.

Our events operate with the love and help of volunteers and sponsors. Join us!

Food and Drink

Whether you’re looking for something healthy, plant-based – or just the color GREEN, downtown restaurants have options. In addition to our brick and mortar establishments, you can find quick eats with a selection of food trucks.
