Celebrating the Earth at Hugh MacRae Park

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) —  Families, friends, and lovers of the environment came out to Hugh MacRae Park over the weekend for an Earth Day Celebration.

Saturday’s event featured live music, a Kid’s EcoZone, and plenty of good food and drinks.

This year’s theme was ‘rECOnnect’ with an emphasis on eco. Organizers say they chose this theme to bring awareness to humans’ deep rooted connection to our planet, and encourage people to get back to those roots.

Free shuttles were provided to and from the park, and dogs were even allowed to join in on the fun.
