Events

The annual "Clean the Ferndale Up" is the City's annual spring spruce-up event, where community members join staff and elected officials to rake, garden, repair, and beautify areas of our fair city. Join the movement by volunteering for the cleanup, bring your recyclables to the on-site drop-off station, or simply use the opportunity to clean your own yard. While all projects will be outdoors, we will adhere to public health and safety guidelines by requiring all volunteers to wear a mask.
