The City of Clermont hosted an Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 19, at Lake Hiawatha Park, bringing together residents of all ages for a day of environmental awareness, action, and fun. The free, family-friendly event, held at 450 12th Street, featured a wide range of activities aimed at inspiring the community to care for and protect the local environment.

One of the highlights of the day was the community Lake Cleanup, which welcomed individuals and groups at no cost. Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and competed for prizes in three categories: most weight collected, oddest object found, and largest volunteer group. All participants were required to register and sign a waiver to join the eco-conscious effort.

In addition to the cleanup, attendees explored educational exhibits from environmental organizations, enjoyed a lively kids’ zone, and danced along to music provided by a live DJ. Eco-conscious vendors and groups were also on hand, sharing green living resources and handing out environmentally friendly giveaways.

The Earth Day event served as a reminder that meaningful change starts at the community level. By blending education with hands-on action, Clermont continues to encourage residents to take an active role in preserving the planet for future generations.
