Festival filled with fun and free activities

"Planet Earth: There's No Place Like Home" is the theme of this year’s annual Earth Day Festival on Sunday, April 19th, from 11 am to 5 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.
