Central Florida Earth Day will be celebrated on Saturday, April 23rd, from 10am to 6pm at Lake Eola Park, on the east side. Organizers of the event, led by Vegetarians of Central Florida, have been presenting Earth Day celebrations since 2006. CF Earth Day is a day of education, celebration, and action for our planet. In the spirit of Earth Day, this event is FREE for the whole family. CF Earth Day is the largest, longest running, and best attended Earth Day event in Central Florida.
CF Earth Day sets a clear example for how simple lifestyle changes can make a difference in the health of our ecosystem. CF Earth Day will feature solar power displays and food vendors providing organic and sustainable vegan food.
CF Earth Day will also feature workshops and activities by Veg CF and Candace Findley of eSTEAMed Learning, Inc. for children in the Earth Kids Zone.
Guest speakers will take part in discussions addressing environmental issues facing our state. CF Earth Day will include panels on a variety of local, state, and national environmental issues and will feature leaders from Green Works Orlando.
There will be over 150 local businesses and nonprofits sharing various ways to incorporate sustainable practices into our lifestyle. Some other unique things to check out include environmental & humane education, food prep demos, artist corner, animal haven–including companion animal adoptions plus wild and farmed animal rescues, fashion show, green vehicles, and bike valet. Performances by 14 local and regional musicians on the Band and Acoustic stages will add more fun to the day’s events.
