Earth Day is this Saturday, April 22. Join dozens of local nonprofits and businesses in celebration at the RVA Earth Day Festival from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at Bryan Park.

🗓 How to attend

The festival will take place where the RVA Big Market typically does. Drive, bike, walk, scoot, or take the bus — routes 1 and 14 will take you to Northside.

🌳 What to do

See special demonstrations by Beyond Boundaries, the VA Dept. of Wildlife, Keep Virginia Cozy, RVA Goats and Honey, and more. There will also be vendors, foods trucks, and a live music lineup that includes Tiara & Andrew, Shiv Flowers, and tendersong.

♻️ Don’t miss

Local arts nonprofit Studio Two Three is the nonprofit beneficiary of the event. Bring your own light-colored t-shirt or tote bag and screen print an exclusive Earth Day design from the mobile print truck.
