The Whole Earth and Watershed Festival is an annual, community-wide celebration of Earth Day featuring activities, exhibits, Live Music Fest on 2 stages, films, artists, and local food that will delight and inspire people of all ages. This annual event demonstrates our commitment as individuals and as a community to work together for the health and livability of the north state region and our planet.
Now in its 14th year, The Festival features over 150 outstanding Exhibitors including businesses, non-profits, government agencies, community groups, local artists, and educational organizations. Each year, the event organizers actively seek new exhibitors from our north state region and beyond to give attendees the broadest possible exposure to innovative ideas and products.
This year, the Festival will join the global celebration marking the 50th anniversary of Earth Day with a special exhibit called the Earth Day Pavilion. This large tent will house an interactive exhibit for attendees to experience. It will be focused on the 2020 Earth Day theme of addressing climate change and will highlight the innovative and positive projects currently planned or underway in the north state region that demonstrate our commitment to lowering our CO2 emissions across many sectors and the adaptations needed to ensure a healthy community and planet.
