The Salisbury Zoo will hold its annual Earth Day celebration on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is free to the public. The goal is to promote environmental awareness and how we can be good stewards to the Earth by showcasing over 20 Earth-friendly organizations.

Along with the exhibitors there will be other Earth Day activities during the event which include: zookeeper talks, recycled craft activities, face painting, animal meet and greets, and music by Ted Nichols drum circle.

Thanks to a sponsorship from Bryan & Brittingham, the Zoo will be selling one of a kind Earth Day T-shirts.

Proceeds benefit the Zoo’s education department. T-shirts are available that day for $10. Delmarva Power will be giving out redbud tree seedlings while supplies last.

The Zoo Stampede 5K will start the day out with a bang. The race, sponsored by Vernon Powell Shoes, will run thru the Zoo and City Park. Now in its 16th year, the race is one of the best 5Ks in Salisbury.
