3rd Annual Earth Day Celebration :  Town of Halifax, VA

The Town of Halifax and Halifax County Improvement Council will hold the 3rd Annual Earth Day Celebration on Saturday, April 21st at the Halifax Marketplace, 209 South Main Street. Vendors with the Halifax Farmers Market will be set up from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

The celebration activities will kick off at 11:00 a.m. with free entertainment, informational displays and working demonstrations open to the public continuing until 4:00 p.m., rain or shine. 

The Halifax Earth Day Celebration continues to grow support within the Halifax County community.  Earth Day was set aside over 40 years ago to focus on the troubles found within our environment, both near and far. Just one day is not enough. Responsible living and balanced consumption should be an everyday practice for all of us, and we want to work together to help educate the public in fun and exciting ways to provide a healthy place to live for generations to come. Graced with an abundance of natural resources and tranquil beauty found throughout Halifax County and Southern Virginia, the historic Town of Halifax is a "natural" fit to host a celebration of our shared yet diverse rural heritage built over centuries in concert with this wonderful land which surrounds us and sustains us.
