| Mark your calendars for the 2025 St. Louis Earth Day Festival! | | | | | Join us at the St. Louis Earth Day Festival in Forest Park, April 26-27, from from 11 AM - 5 PM both days, for an unforgettable weekend of inspiration, action, and community! This year’s theme, "Climate Hope: The Change We Want," acknowledges the urgent environmental challenges we face while highlighting real solutions and inspiring collective action. Recently, earthday365 faced the loss of our Environmental Justice Outreach Coordinator position due to the federal termination of the EPA and AmeriCorps’ Green VISTA Corps program. This initiative played a crucial role in addressing environmental injustice, and the early departure of Nia, who worked tirelessly to expand our impact in North County and North City, is deeply felt. In light of this, we feel it’s more important than ever to stand firm in our values. Please read our Statement of Values here, which reflects our ongoing commitment to climate action, environmental justice, and a future rooted in equity. At the Festival, we invite you to support us in this work—connect with 200 local nonprofits and sustainable businesses making a difference in St. Louis, learn about climate change and how you can make an impact at the Climate Education Tent, experience the Sustainable Fashion Show, enjoy live performances by talented local artists, and celebrate local changemakers at the Sustainability Awards Ceremony! Additionally, take time to enjoy food from Green Dining Alliance-certified restaurants and visit our new All Vegan Zone, highlighting local businesses taking the steps to minimize their environmental impact.
