As Westchester County’s largest community-run earth day festival, we are expecting visitors to exceed 4,000, and will have 100+ exhibitors – growing the festival from some 300 attendees and 20 vendors in our first year. We’re planning to have more hands-on activities and educational opportunities for everyone, as well as continuing great live music and entertainment aiming to make it our best earth day festival yet.

This year, as we celebrate the 49th anniversary of Earth Day, we will offer information on how to live a more resourceful life with more hands-on activities and information on using and wasting less and being a more conscious consumer; as well as how to live a more sustainable life with information on local sustainability solutions and renewable energy solutions, and the organizations that will help us toward that,
