Glendale’s Green Festival is teaming up with the Glendale Family Bike Ride on Saturday, March 27 and both events are bigger than ever! This free something-for-everyone event is a great opportunity for people of all ages to get a little exercise and learn about water and energy efficiency, alternative transportation, going solar, and many other green-living practices. The annual Glendale Family Bike Ride will kick off the green-themed event at Sahuaro Ranch Park at 8:00 a.m. The bike ride is suitable for cyclists of all levels and ages. Both long and short routes are available. Free snacks and water are provided at two rest stops along the route. All participants must wear a bike helmet. For those who do not have a helmet, they can be purchased at the event for $10.
Cyclists and non-cyclists are encouraged to head over to the Glendale Green Festival from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Glendale Main Library. The event will feature information booths, green-product vendors, free give-a-ways, green-living and desert gardening classes for homeowners, and a family zone powered by Radio Disney’s Friends for Change with fun and games for all. Be sure to explore the SRP Water Conservation Expo for the latest in water-efficient devices. For a list of activities and classes, visit www.glendaleaz.com/green .
