This event brings the community together to celebrate our Earth with local companies sharing products and services, educating young and old, while promoting Ventura Charter School’s unique non profit public education. VCS has held 13 Earth Day festivals in Ventura. Due to the pandemic, VCS has not been able to raise crucial dollars for our students’ learning. Join us in celebrating and supporting our bright future!

This event is dedicated to nurturing an understanding and appreciation for the Earth’s natural environment while highlighting local environmental organizations and businesses committed to environmental protection, sustainable sources and practices, and green technologies.

We invite families, friends, like-minded organizations, and all community members to join us for a day filled with learning opportunities, delicious food from local vendors, booths with sustainably sourced and produced goods, interactive games, diverse live music and performances, electric vehicle showcase, and a celebration of our Blue Planet, Earth!
