 | | | 2025 St. Louis Earth Day Festival | | | | We are thrilled to unveil this year’s St. Louis Earth Day Festival theme: Climate Hope: The Change We Want! In a time of political turmoil and mounting climate anxiety, our Festival is a space for over 20,000 people to reconnect, learn, and find real pathways toward a sustainable future for the Midwest region. The climate crisis is already reshaping our world, but so are the solutions we create together. This year, we focus on the tangible steps - community initiatives, local policies, and everyday choices - that move us from fear to momentum. We hope you like our new poster as much as we do, illustrated by local artist Fern Meadow! | | | | We're halfway to our vendor registration goal, at over 100 sustainable vendors and exhibitors so far! A 15% late fee will apply starting in March, so those interested should register now - especially Green Dining Alliance or vegan food vendors! Don't miss the opportunity to connect with over 20,000 community members who share your values for the planet! Check out if your favorite sustainable business/organization is on the list! | | | | | | | | | | We are also still looking for sponsors to invest in our movement-building mission. Please see below for more information! Benefits include high visibility for your brand with over 12 million impressions in 2024. Customized packages available. | | | | | | | | | Volunteers make the Festival possible! To help with this important initiative, please sign up below.

The call for models, as well as audition time and location, will be announced soon. | | | | | | | | Founder's Day at STL Green Drinks! | | | | Celebrate Founder’s Day with us at our next STL Green Drinks!
