Arbor Day 2026

Palm Coast’s favorite eco‑friendly tradition is returning for its 21st year! Join us for the 21st Annual Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Central Park in Town Center (975 Central Avenue, Palm Coast, FL 32164).

 This year’s event continues the City’s commitment to sustainability with a free tree giveaway (provided by Flowing Well Tree Farm), a walk‑through butterfly tent, family-friendly activities, and educational opportunities that highlight the importance of environmental stewardship. Residents may receive a free 3‑gallon tree in exchange for a non-perishable food donation for the local food bank, an ongoing tradition that benefits both the community and the environment. Free paper shredding will also be available on site.

 Guests can enjoy the walk-through butterfly tent for an up-close look at these extraordinary pollinators. A butterfly release is scheduled for 11:00 a.m., offering a beautiful moment for attendees of all ages. Food and beverages will be available for purchase throughout the event.

 “Each year, Arbor Day inspires us to reconnect with nature and with one another,” said City of Palm Coast Urban Forester Carol Mini. “The 21st annual celebration builds on that legacy with new experiences, meaningful environmental action, and a renewed sense of community pride. We’re excited to welcome everyone back to celebrate with us.”

 Celebrate Arbor Day in Palm Coast, a day dedicated to nature, sustainability, and community togetherness.
