Freedom Harvest Celebration – Frick Environmental Center


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 09/07/2024
This event, part of the Allegheny Regional Asset District’s RAD Days, will take place on Saturday, September 7, and offers a unique opportunity for the community to come together to celebrate freedom, history, and the harvest season. The Freedom Harvest Celebration is a free, all-ages, family-friendly event highlighting the rich history and significance of the From Slavery to Freedom Garden. Based at the FEC, the garden showcases plants and vegetables that freedom seekers used for nourishment and medicine on their perilous journey north to freedom. September is a particularly poignant time to hold this event, as it marks International Underground Railroad Month, commemorating the escapes of iconic figures such as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman.
