On Saturday, May 10, a spectacular procession of visual art, mobile sculptures, larger-than-life puppets, outrageous costumes and more will take to the streets of the Lower East Side to raise awareness for a giant issue: Climate solutions. From 11am to 5pm, the "Ecological City: Procession for Climate Solutions" will see marchers stop at more than a dozen community gardens and along the East River waterfront to spotlight the city’s vital green spaces and natural resources, showcasing music, dance, theater and poetry along the way.
Volunteers are welcome to join in as puppet operators, procession marshals, and more. Sign up to volunteer here. New Yorkers are invited to stop by the route and learn about the environment while enjoying the artwork.
