Earth Day Kid’s Festival began 5 years ago as a way to bring the community together in celebration of our natural environment. A variety of environmental non-profits and organizations have come together to foster environmental consciousness and encourage the next generation of stewards to cherish our natural resources.
We invite families and people of all ages to come out and enjoy environmental education, arts and crafts, games, performances and more! There will be live music from Susana and Timmy Abell / Silver Trout Arts. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. We invite you to come out and enjoy this free festival!
We are fortunate to have our generous sponsors, Prestige Subaru Black Orthodontics, and venue sponsor, Salvage Station who make this event possible.
This festival is hosted in conjunction with “Earth Month,” a month long series of service days, workshops, and events throughout April organized by WNC for the Planet, a collective of environmental non-profits within Western North Carolina.
Stick around in the evening as Rising Appalachia plays an Earth Day Celebration concert. Event supports French Broad Riverkeeper and MountainTrue and their clean water projects. Doors open at 5.
