Earth Day Festival comes to Lincolnville Sunday

Historic City News readers are invited to participate in a fun-filled, planet-conscious day for families and visitors from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. this Sunday, April 21, during the 2013 St Augustine Earth Day Festival.

The event will feature free admission, free parking, and live entertainment throughout the day, according to Sue Agresta, “Lift up Lincolnville” president.

“We feel honored to host this meaningful day and hope to partner with other groups on special events in the future,” Agresta said. “The City has been good to us — fixing Riberia Street, building a new pool, giving us sidewalks on Martin Luther King Avenue; and, for Lincolnville to be chosen as a venue, shows our neighborhood is really becoming a valued part of St Augustine.”
