Find us this SATURDAY and SUNDAY next to the main stage at the STL Earth Day Festival! 11-5 both days.
The enemy is here! Plastic pollution is destroying our planet, and it's up to us to learn about the solutions and take action.
🌏 Join us at the St. Louis Earth Day Festival, the largest Earth Day celebration in the Midwest and a weekend-long gathering of community, creativity, fun, and impact.
Our 2026 theme, Planet vs. Plastic, confronts one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. From single-use plastics to microplastics in our water and food systems, plastic pollution impacts ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Throughout the Festival, attendees will discover practical solutions, innovative ideas, and local resources to reduce plastic waste and take action in their own lives.
🎨 This year’s artwork, by local artist Jesse Reiners, brings the theme to life. The towering plastic-zilla illustrates the horrifying scale and destructive impact of the plastic pollution crisis, while the crowd below reflects the power of collective action and the change that’s possible when we come together.
The Festival brings together 20,000 attendees and 200 local organizations and businesses in the beautiful Forest Park for a weekend of hands-on activities, live performances, sustainably made food, and educational experiences for all ages.
✨ Programming highlights include earthday365’s annual Sustainability Awards, a Sustainable Fashion Show by Liberated Roots Co, a kids balance bike course with St. Louis BWorks, roller skating with Skate Culture, rock climbing with Upper Limits, our Climate Education Tent, and much more.
When it’s time to recharge, visit the Earth Day Café, featuring local Green Dining Alliance-certified restaurants serving sustainably made food, along with an All Vegan Zone sponsored by the START - St. Louis Animal Rights Team!
