“Green Day is an important Parks Department initiative, and we are thrilled that a number of businesses and community organizations are partnering to make this an even bigger event,” Mayor Scott Willis said. “We work hard each year to be named a Tree City by the Arbor Day Foundation, and events like this help to inform the community of the work we’re doing that they may not see every day.”
Free public parking for the event is available in the lot at the southwest corner of Poplar Street and Park Street and in designated on-street spots along Jersey, Mill, and Union streets.
