Earth Day Celebration at Ponce City Market

Ponce City Market is hosting a free Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 25, at The Shed along the Atlanta BeltLine. (poncecitymarket.com) The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is being presented with the Georgia Forestry Foundation and Roots Down. (poncecitymarket.com) (atlantaonthecheap.com) Ponce City Market says the gathering is designed to connect visitors with local organizations focused on environmental stewardship. Atlanta on the Cheap reported the event is free and open to the public. (poncecitymarket.com) (atlantaonthecheap.com) The location matters because The Shed is Ponce City Market’s open-air community space on the BeltLine’s Eastside Trail, one of Atlanta’s busiest pedestrian corridors. Ponce City Market uses the space for markets, pop-ups, classes and seasonal events. (atlantaonthecheap.com) (poncecitymarket.com) The Georgia Forestry Foundation said its annual Earth Day event returned this year in partnership with Jamestown, the real estate company behind Ponce City Market, and with sponsorship from Georgia Power. The foundation placed the event at The Trestle, the breezeway connecting the market to the BeltLine. (gatrees.org) (adventuresinatlanta.com) That location detail varies by listing. Ponce City Market’s own event page and Atlanta on the Cheap place the celebration at The Shed, while the Georgia Forestry Foundation and Adventures in Atlanta describe it at The Trestle. (poncecitymarket.com) (atlantaonthecheap.com) (gatrees.org) (adventuresinatlanta.com) FOX 5 Atlanta included the Earth Day celebration in its roundup of things to do from April 24 through April 26, placing it in Midtown during a weekend packed with festivals and special events across metro Atlanta and North Georgia. (fox5atlanta.com) For visitors, the clearest constants are the date, the free admission and the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. window. The event is being pitched as a public Earth Day stop tied to local environmental groups at one of Atlanta’s busiest mixed-use destinations. (poncecitymarket.com) (fox5atlanta.com)
