CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WRIC) -- Chesterfield County is getting ready to host the third annual Chesterfield Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 12.
The free, family-friendly event will run from noon to 4 p.m. at the Chesterfield County Fairgrounds located on Courthouse Road.

Visitors will also find a Touch-a-Truck section for children, food trucks and a play zone.
Organizers say it's important to hold the event before Earth Day on April 22.
"We do it before actual Earth Day because there's so many things here that people can learn about," Lynne Wingfield, community engagement and resources, told 8News. "What can they do for Earth Day itself? Chesterfield County does a lot of promoting on those types of things, how you can volunteer or things you can do to really be an environmental steward."
The Chesterfield County Fairgrounds is located at 10300 Courthouse Road. Parking will be available across the street at L.C. Bird High School. For more information, visit the Chesterfield County website.
