During the March 27 council, Holk proclaimed April 21, 2018, as Earth Day Mobile Bay, which marks the 29th year of the festival taking place in Fairhope.

“We recognize our dependence upon the earth and upon one another for our common existence, well-being, and development,” said Holk. “We’re committed to working to serve and protect our natural resources in the bay area.”

The event is free to attend and will be taking place from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 21 at the Fairhope Pier. Gover stated they expect approximately 5,000 people to attend throughout the day, and there will be 100 exhibits and activities for all ages.
