  In celebration of Earth Day, local musician Bob Patterson and organizer Carol Kramer have planned a one-day music festival from noon to 10 p.m. Saturday, April 24, at Airstream Row in Vilano Beach.

  Patterson's award-winning song "Lullaby of the Rivers" is the inspiration for the festival, which will feature popular regional performers throughout the afternoon and evening.

  "Lullaby of the Rivers" is a tribute to Florida's rivers and their heritage. In his folksy storytelling style, Patterson invites listeners to embrace the Native American traditions of environmental responsibility by remembering how Florida's great rivers like the Apalachicola, Ichetucknee, Ocklawaha and Kissimmee got their names.

  In addition to a full day of musical entertainment, activity stations will be set up for environmental organizations to distribute educational materials and to provide experiences that will raise awareness about environmental issues, impacts and initiatives.

  Proceeds from the event will provide environmental education materials to students.

  An inaugural event, singer/songwriters from various genres have signed up to participate.

  Admission: $10

  When:Noon to 10 p.m., Saturday, April 24, 2021.

  Where: Airstream Row is at 190 Vilano Road in Vilano Beach.
