Earth Day Festival

About the Festival

The Ann Arbor Area Earth Day Festival is an annual celebration coordinated by the Environmental Education Network of Washtenaw (EE-NOW), a coalition of over fifteen local environmental nonprofits and agencies, and held at Leslie Science & Nature Center. A limited number of innovative clean energy groups and businesses are highlighted each year, as coordinated by the nonprofit Clean Energy Coalition.

This free, family-friendly event features displays from 40 local environmental, non-profit, and governmental organizations; live animal demonstrations; hands-on activities; product & toy testing; live entertainment; green building & commuting technologies; energy topics; water awareness; sustainable agriculture; and more. In the true spirit of Earth Day, this year’s festival will again be a Zero Waste event, with help from Recycle Ann Arbor and their grant from the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation.

Earth Day admission is free thanks to generous sponsorship from the City of Ann Arbor, Clean Energy Coalition, the Leslie Science & Nature Center, Dollar Bill Copying, and NSF International.

Electronics Recycling at the Festival

Take action this Earth Day! Electronic recycling donations reduce landfill use and, due to our partnership with Funding Factory, they support local non-profits like LSNC. If your items are on the list below and is less than three years old, bring it to the Earth Day Festival on April 21 between noon and 4:00 p.m., and drop them off at the LSNC main office. Please call 734-997-1553 with any questions.

All items must be less than three years old; both working and non-working items will be accepted.
