Earth Day Family Festival is a free, community-centered event which celebrates both community and planetary well-being. The whole Comox Valley is invited to be part of this full day of free interactive learning, live music, community displays, fun-filled hands-on kids activities, live demos and so much more! Earth Day Family Festival is truly “community in action” where organizations and individuals come together in a celebration and exchange of ideas, inspiration and tools for life on planet earth.
Come learn, play and be inspired about water, watershed and land conservation, local food and food systems, alternative transportation, social and community organizations, green buildings and energy, and re-using, recycling, returning and re-inventing ways to live lightly on the planet. Pack a picnic, fill up the water bottle, hop on your bike and come spend the day with friends and neighbours in a celebration of the natural and social diversity of life in the valley.
Musical performers presented by Vancouver Island MusicFest, accompanied by some theatrical comedy sketches from Theatreworks and music from the Letz Sing Choir makes for a mini festival of musical delights!
