The first in-person local festival of the year has arrived with Dandelion Day making its return to Sopris Park in Carbondale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday.
The event was created by Carbondale’s Environmental Board and features live music and local vendors for a completely waste-free celebration of spring.
