Arts & Environmental Festival a success!

On Saturday, May 19, the Upper Main Line YMCA hosted the Arts & Environmental Festival. The event provided the opportunity for the Y to showcase the high quality programs it offers children, adults, and families. The day included painting and craft workshops and demonstrations, live animal shows, bird and nature walks, hayrides, plant sales, community vendors, and more. It is through the Arts and Environmental Education programs that UMLY is at the forefront in promoting youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility within our community. Enjoy some photos from the day!
