It’s time for the 2020 Roots & Wings Festival!

In consideration of local public health guidelines, this year we’re moving to an expanded at-home celebration.

What is the Roots & Wings Festival?

The Roots & Wings Festival is an annual, community-wide celebration of Arbor Day and Monarch Appreciation Day. The festival promotes environmental awareness and celebrates trees, bees, butterflies, pollinators, and getting into nature.

This year, we’re bringing Roots & Wings to you with new ways to celebrate and connect in your home, yard, and nearby nature.

Who can participate?

Roots & Wings is for everyone! Young or old, renter or homeowner, nature enthusiastic or newbie, longtime resident or recent transplant — all community members are encouraged to participate.

Roots & Wings is also a great opportunity for community members who do not feel connected to our Austin urban forest to explore ways to take advantage of their neighborhood parks, patio gardens, windowsills, or even planter containers.

How can I participate?

There are many new ways to get involved:

  • Build your personal schedule with live events.
  • Discover games, recorded webinars, arts and crafts, and more with our lists of anytime actions.
  • Show your continued support of nature in our city by signing the Roots & Wings Nature Pledge.

For full programming details, visit: www.rootsandwingsfest.com

Thank you to our 2020 Planning Committee Partners!

The Roots & Wings Festival is brought to you by multiple City of Austin departments and community partners, including…

City of Austin:

  • Austin Public Library
  • Austin Fire Department
  • Development Services Department
  • Housing & Planning Department
  • Parks and Recreation Department
