Saturday 10th March to Sunday 11th March:
Tres Rios Nature & Earth Festival
The popular Tres Rios Nature and Earth Festival returns to the vast Estrella Mountain Regional Park in 2012 and will again offer a unique opportunity for nature lovers to visit a riparian corridor in the West Valley near where the Salt and Agua Fria rivers join the Gila River.
Scheduled for March 10-11, 2012, the “Three Rivers” Festival will emphasize local plants, animals, ecological relationships and available recreational opportunities. Don’t miss out on opportunities to see live wildlife up close, go canoeing, try archery, fish, view local birdlife, hike and learn about recycling and green-living zones.
A true family event, the Tres Rios Nature and Earth Festival will feature a special area for children with hands-on activities centering around nature, recycling and the outdoors. A recycling fashion show, free fishing clinic, live reptiles, local performing groups and numerous other features will give the annual event a true festival flavor.
Estrella Mountain Regional Park is located near Goodyear, approximately 5 miles south of Interstate 10 off Estrella Boulevard at 14805 W. Vineyard Blvd. Festival hours are 9 am to 4 pm each day. Although the event is free, a $3 per vehicle entrance fee will be charged by the park. Take advantage of the reduced entry fee to enjoy all of the park’s amenities!
