Earth Day, founded in 1970, is an international celebration of the planet and environmental teach-in. Our multicultural, multi-generational event brings together people and organizations from all across our community. The Earth Day Festival has been the signature benefit event for Noyo Food Forest since it was founded in 2006. This FREE event is open to all (adult donations encouraged).
