There is no single way to celebrate Earth Day. However, we think a campfire at a waterfall is pretty appropriate one.

Miami County Park District and Charleston Falls Preserve is hosting a good old fashioned campfire this Earth Day, complete with story telling and legends. Charleston Falls is home to one of Ohio’s most stunning waterfalls. Before the fire begins at 9 p.m. is a perfect opportunity to celebrate Mother Earth’s big day by standing in awe of the falls.

"Bring an instrument and sing songs under the stars with Spirit of Thunder (John DeBoer) and special musical guest Steve Capri. Roast marshmallows and have fun with the entire family. Play games and learn about the forest at night. The Stillwater Stargazers plan to be onsite to help you explore the heavens," according to the event Facebook page.

The campfire ends at 11 p.m. The event is free to attend but registration is still required and can be done online here.
