About the Festival
The Ann Arbor Earth Day Festival is an annual celebration coordinated by the Ann Arbor Earth Day Festival Planning Committee, a coalition of local environmental nonprofits and agencies, and will be held this year at Leslie Science & Nature Center.
This free, family-friendly event features displays; hands-on activities; live entertainment; green building and commuting technologies; energy topics; water awareness; sustainable agriculture; and more.
In the true spirit of Earth Day, this festival will be a Zero Waste event. Visitors can help keep up the average of 90% waste diverted from landfills during the Earth Day Event by bringing their reusable water bottle, and putting their waste in the right receptacles.
The Ann Arbor Earth Day Festival is free thanks to local donors and sponsors!
Come dressed as your favorite animal or sport your favorite festive wear, and join us in our annual All Species Parade as we parade the site and cheer for a healthy planet!
