Festival filled with fun and free activities
"Be a Breath of Fresh Air in your Community is the theme of this year’s annual Earth Day Festival on Sunday, April 18th, from 11 am to 4 pm at Victory Park, behind Haggin Museum in Stockton. This is the premiere environmental event in all of San Joaquin County, and as always, the focus of the day long festival is to educate you about taking care of our natural resources – the earth, air and water. With global warming, conservation and other environmental issues taking a spotlight in the world these days, we expect a crowd hungry and eager to learn how to take care of their environment. It is a fun day for families, and best of all, admission is free.
The Festival will have dozens of informative, interactive booths, displays and exhibits, plus there will be plenty of great food and exotic crafts. Local area schools will be teaching you how to take better care of our earth with a variety of hands-on activities, and environmental organizations will educate you about the important issues that impact you and how you can make a difference. Community agencies will help you live a healthier, more positive life, and green businesses will assist you in making changes to your home and workplace. Over 100 vendors will border the oak trees and cross the grass field at Victory Park, making this Earth Day Festival the biggest ever. Close to 10,000 people attend this event annually.
Join the hundreds of cyclists who will bike around the neighborhood as part of the Family Fun Bike Ride and Parade. Costumed children, adults and bikes are encouraged, so wear your wildest environmental look. Kids can strut as their favorite animal in the Endangered Species Parade that will circle the park. Or participate as a drummer in the Drum Circle that traditionally closes the Festival on a percussive high note.
Passport Earth
young people are clearly concerned about the health of our planet, often becoming leaders in recycling, restoration and conservation efforts both as classroom projects and in their own homes.
This year the Earth Day Festival is adding an exciting way to engage young people in learning about ways to help the environment. Ask your teacher about Passport Earth flyers, print out your passport flyer, or pick one up at the event.
Collect stamps at booths throughout the Earth Day Festival, look for answers to questions about protecting our planet and enter a raffle to win prizes at the Passport Earth booth.
Family Fun Bike Ride
A fun activity each year is the Family Fun Bike Ride. The bike ride registration is free and begins at 10:30am at the festival in Victory Park.
The 1.5 mile family ride starts at 11am from Victory Park and travels throughout the Victory Park neighborhood and along the waterways. A snack and drink will be provided for registrants. Prizes for decorated bikes will be awarded. Stockton's Volunteers In Police (VIP) will be leading the ride/parade. Plan now to gather you family and friends and join this fun activity.
