This year’s event will focus on appreciating the birds of Centennial with a variety of free bird-related activities for the entire family!
Meet falcons, hawks, owls, and eagles in person, make upcycled birdhouses, learn about the birds in Centennial and how to spot them, get your face painted, check out Arapahoe Libraries’ Book Mobile and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District's Fun Bus, enjoy music from our DJ and more!
Knit bird nests provide comfort and warmth to orphaned birds.
The Senior Needles & Threads group at Holly Creek Retirement Community is assisting with an effort to knit bird nests in conjunction with the City’s Earth Day event.
Join the fun! Drop off your knit bird nest donation at the Earth Day event and help a bird friend in need. Find a knitting pattern.
