Green Day Celebration | May First Fridays
Friday, May 2, 5 – 9 p.m.
Choose your outdoor adventure at this First Fridays environmental extravaganza! Our Green Day Celebration features an abundance of green events and activities, as well as live musical performances by Goshen Elementary School choirs and local (homegrown!) bands.
Visit downtown bars, restaurants, and a selection of food trucks for tasty eats, drinks, and good times with friends!
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.
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.
Kids Activities
Kids will love this opportunity to discover, see, and touch local animals at the Wildlife Petting Zoo on the Courthouse lawn. Also be sure to check out Merry Lea of Goshen College’s live display of reptiles and amphibians!
