Human rights organization Imani Works will hold its 27th annual Earth Day celebration this Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 19362 Constitution Hwy., Nasons, VA 22960.

Participants will be able to tour the farm, take part in sustainable living activities, visit the herb market and receive a free bamboo walking stick by completing an activity passport. Gentle hikes on the property will be available for community members of all ages and abilities.

Live music will begin at 11 a.m. with ukulele player Kelle Jolly, who tells stories centered in African-American culture through her music. Hailing from Tennessee, Jolly is a familiar face to those who attend the Affrolachian On-Time Music Gathering (The Thang) each September in Orange.

The Earth Day celebration is free and open to all. For more information, contact Imani Works at imaniworks.org@gmail.com.
