The 37th annual Earth Day festival in Pensacola is Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Bayview Park. The event showcases sustainable living through a fun day of environmental education, art, live music, local food, green products, fun stuff for kids and hands-on activities.

Some of the event highlights include a repair cafe popup, native plants, yoga sessions and planet-friendly cuisine. A lineup of local singer-songwriters and acoustic bands will keep the celebration going all day. People are encouraged to walk, bike or carpool to the event.

“I love that we have so many local vendors with earth-friendly hand-crafted items. These are things like art and personal care products that people make in their kitchens and home workshops. It’s great to support our local artisans and craftspeople,” says Christian Wagley, Earth Day Pensacola publicity coordinator. “We’ll have amazing planet-friendly food from several local sources and one of the new elements this year is a repair cafe popup offering repairs to clothing, soft goods and ceramics.” 

Earth Day Pensacola sponsors are Renewal by Andersen, Grow Creative Studio, Phil Hall P.A., Natural Awakenings NW Florida and Leaf Filter Gutter Protection.
