North Hempstead, NY – Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board announced the Town's 10th Annual EcoFest will be held on Saturday, May 2nd and Sunday, May 3rd from 11:00am until 5:00pm at Clark Botanic Garden in Albertson.

EcoFest is a yearly favorite for members of the North Hempstead community. It offers activities for the whole family including crafts, lawn games, musical performances, and other engaging family events. Over the past decade, thousands of North Hempstead residents have participated in this program, which culminates Town’s month-long focus on environmental education.

“Clark Botanic Garden is a gem in North Hempstead’s beautiful park system. Every year The Town has celebrated EcoFest as a way to highlight our efforts to make North Hempstead safer, cleaner, and more beautiful while also giving residents the opportunity to enjoy family fun and entertainment,” said Supervisor Judi Bosworth on the decennial of EcoFest.

This year, the Hip Pickles will entertain the crowd with their dramatic drum beats. Erik’s Reptiles will return again to teach kids about wildlife while kids engage with live animals. The whole family can also interact with the Central Park Zoo education department, which will also be on hand.

All attendees can enjoy the 12 beautifully manicured acres of Clark Botanic Garden which includes labeled gardens, trees, ponds and streams and provides an oasis of peace and aesthetic enjoyment for all. Clark Botanic Garden is located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson.
