 EcoFest writtenon green turtle with pink sun in background

Welcome Spring and Earth Day!

EcoFest is a time of learning, volunteering, and celebrating. There are town-wide events, most are free, and most are open to the public. Some schools have special events just for their school community.

Events are listed in the EcoFest Calendar and include park cleanups and plantings, student-led projects, participatory public art, a puppet show, workshops, and fairs. 

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First held on April 22, 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by Earthday.org (formerly Earth Day Network) including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries. The official theme for 2024 is "Planet vs. Plastics." 2025 will be the 55th anniversary of Earth Day. (Thanks, Wikipedia!)
