EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - The Atlantic County Utilities Authority will be holding its 34th annual Earth Day Festival rain or shine 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 26, at the ACUA Environmental Park, 6700 Delilah Road.
“ACUA’s annual Earth Day Festival is a true celebration of the environment and the community we serve,” ACUA President Matthew DeNafo said. “We’re proud to host this longstanding event that offers guests the opportunity to connect with ACUA and local organizations while enjoying free games, entertainment and activities for all ages.”
ACUA’s largest and longest running Earth Day festival in South Jersey will feature environmental workshops, interactive activities and shows, live music, educational exhibits, and free family games that will provide hours of enjoyment. More than 150 vendors, from local artisans to nonprofit organizations, will be on site to explore.
The festival also provides a behind-the-scenes look into the essential work that ACUA performs to support the community. Guests can take a hayride to the top of the landfill and catch a ride to the wastewater treatment facility in Atlantic City to see its operations and renewable energy projects up close.
Other activities include Touch-A-Truck with ACUA vehicles, a recycled art display, bounce houses, games, a nature walk, pony rides, composting demonstrations, free workshops, and more.

Parking is available onsite or offsite with shuttle service from Airport Commerce Center at 6550 Delilah Road. Ride-sharing is encouraged.
ACUA acknowledges the many community partners and sponsors that make this festival a success, including its platinum sponsors Atlantic City Electric, Nehmad Davis and Goldstein, and South Jersey Gas.
