The first in-person local festival of the year has arrived with Dandelion Day making its return to Sopris Park in Carbondale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday.
The event was created by Carbondale’s Environmental Board and features live music and local vendors for a completely waste-free celebration of spring. The event is free to attend and this year will also debut Carbondale Tourism’s new Farm + Food map. The map was meant to launch last year, but was delayed due to COVID-19.
Spokesperson Sarah-Jane Johnson wrote in an email that after local stakeholders completed an agri-tourism development and training workshop, farmers, ranchers and restaurant business owners came together to develop the Farm + Food map.
