SOUTHERN COLORADO — Earth Day is right around the corner!

In downtown Pueblo, community members can visit the El Pueblo History Museum for an evening of Earth-centered events!

The event begins at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 22, and ends at 6:30 p.m.

Events include traditional and cultural presentations from local Native American groups, fun activities, and a chat about sustainability from Sustainable Pueblo.

The event is free and open to all community members.

The City of Colorado Springs has compiled a list of events for the community to participate in if you’re interested in celebrating the Earth and the environment!

Events range from educational workshops to park clean-ups to trivia.

• Blodgett Open Space
