The theme for this year’s festival is “Planet Versus Plastics,” which outlines the city’s commitment to reducing plastic use by 60% by 2040. “Our world needs change. That’s where you come in as an individual. You yield real power and influence as a consumer, a voter, and a member of a community that can unite for change. Don’t underestimate your power. With others around the world, we can create a movement that is inclusive and impactful,” stated Earth Day Festival Founder Art Gardenswartz.
Event-goers will get to enjoy informational booths, a series of presentations, and even poetry and art contests.
Tickets are free for the month of March but will cost $5 starting April 1.
