Sunol Regional Wilderness will hold its eleventh annual Spring Wildflower Festival on Saturday April 12, 2014 from 11 am – 4 pm. The festival will take place near the Old Green Barn Visitor Center at Sunol Regional Wilderness at the end of Geary Road off Calaveras. Anyone with an interest in wildflowers or nature is encouraged to attend – there is something for all ages and abilities. Interpretive staff and volunteers will provide fun and easy ways to identify wildflowers and the best places and times to see different varieties.
Nature slideshows, exhibits, and hikes of various lengths and subjects will be offered throughout the day. Hikes range from easy for all ages, kid-friendly, butterflies, wildflower sketching, and ethnobotany, to a longer flower hike to Little Yosemite and its famed seasonal waterfalls. Activities also include arts and crafts, face painting, henna body art, slideshows and music. Local vendors and artisans will also be onsite. There are no food concessions in the park so visitors should bring a lunch and enjoy a picnic in the great outdoors.
The event is free to the public, but the usual $5 parking fee will be charged. Please note this is a cash only event. Carpooling is encouraged.
