Consider biking to our free festival – since free parking can be a challenge at this well-attended event from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. A free bike parking area is available so you, friends and family can safely stow your bicycle and helmet at this volunteer-staffed area across from the Croft Farm house.

Start the day with the Family Fun Bike Ride sponsored by Cherry Tree Corporate Center and supported by Erlton Bike Shop; this is an enjoyable two or nine-mile ride from Croft Farm to the adjacent Cherry Hill Barclay Farm neighborhood.  Bike ride registration is required and participants (aged 8 or older) must wear a helmet. Bike ride check-in is at 8 a.m. and the ride is completed in time for the official start of the Earth Festival at Croft Farm.
