Free plants, food trucks, and live music were present in downtown Van Buren during the Earth Day Festival hosted by Keep Van Buren Beautiful on Saturday.
The group hosted its Earth Day Festival on April 24 showcasing eco-friendly vendors from around the county. Last year, the event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but in their 15th year as an organization, KVBB was able to continue the event.
Community outreach was a large aspect of the festival with the city of Van Buren maintaining its own table. The Van Buren School District s JROTC staffed a table from the municipal utilities, as well. The JROTC volunteered their time to help the festival with loading and unloading as well as picking up trash around downtown.
