The Association of Zoos and Aquariums is throwing a party — in fact, more than 100 parties throughout the country. The Salt Lake City version of AZA's "Party for the Planet" takes place at Hogle Zoo from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. during its Earth Day celebration Saturday, April 26.

The "Party for the Planet" will feature fun for all ages. "Visitors can participate in hands-on activities, plus visit booths to sample local foods," says special events coordinator Song Stott. "There will also be entertainment from Irish dancers to Native American hoop dancers."

In addition, numerous local organizations will have stations where people can participate in fun activities, like making seed-starting cards, that benefit the environment.The event aims to educate visitors about what other communities around the globe do to keep their planet happy.
