National Harbor, MD. (April 3, 2024) – Earth Day is April 22, and Tanger National Harbor invites the community to celebrate with fun-filled, family-friendly urban beekeeping and farming workshops on Saturday, April 20 from Noon – 2 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to check out the interactive displays hosted by Alvéole and UpTop Acres to learn about bees, sustainable food systems and how all of this impacts our environment. Kids of all ages are also encouraged to participate in a fun Earth Day craft.

Tanger National Harbor proudly partners with urban beekeeping company Alvéole to house 25,500 bees in a rooftop hive as part of its ongoing effort to increase the greater bee population locally and around the globe. These pollinators play an important role in contributing to a healthy, balanced ecosystem, and the community is welcome to follow along at myhive.alveole.buzz/tanger-national-harbor as Tanger kicks off its 2024 bee season.  

In addition, Tanger National Harbor also partners with rooftop farming leader Up Top Acres to host sustainable gardens that transform a previously underutilized area into a productive green space that plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions, creating a balanced ecosystem and providing the local community with nutritious food options. The community is welcome to follow along as Tanger kicks off its 2024 farming season.
