Earth Day Marin: Create a better world!

Come celebrate with us at Earth Day Marin on Sunday, April 23, from 1 to 5 p.m., at the Mill Valley Community Center in Marin County

Join our creative activities, see inspiring art, hear great music, play fun games, and enjoy good food and exhibits about climate action, in a beautiful outdoor setting. We expect this to be Marin’s largest Earth Day event!

Earth Day Marin is a free, family-friendly festival, where you can connect with neighbors and learn about climate actions we can take in our own lives, such as: use clean energy, eat healthy food, ride electric vehicles, electrify your home, live lightly and build resilient communities.

Earth Day Marin is organized by Green Change and Mill Valley Recreation, with generous support from Bay Area Air Quality Management District, City of Mill Valley, County of Marin, Marin Community Foundation, Outdoor Art Club, Rex Foundation – and over 60 partners from across Marin and the Bay Area (see their logos below).

Join the fun and come celebrate Earth Day with family, friends and neighbors!
