Travis County Parks Foundation to Host For the Love of Parks Festival

On Saturday, April 18, Travis County Parks Foundation will kick off Earth Week by hosting the 4th Annual “For the Love of Parks” Festival, celebrating the county’s 27 parks and the many ways they enrich our community.

This year’s free, public event will mark the official public launch of the Park Stewards Program, a new volunteer initiative that trains community members to become lifelong park volunteers. Attendees can join the program on-site and learn how to make a lasting impact on their local parks.

The event will feature family friendly activities including live music from Mr. Will, Money Chicha and South Austin Moonlighters, face painting, hands-on animal encounters, pick-up sports, interactive learning stations, food and more.

New this year, the festival will showcase a ‘Park Passport’ activity. Guests can collect category-based stamps from various park activities and return completed passports for a free branded bandana and entry into a prize drawing.
