By blending together demonstrations, workshops, exhibits, artisans, and activities, Earth Fair focuses on raising the level and capacity of environmental stewards to the thousands of visitors who take part in Michigan's largest Earth Day event. We are passionate about creating an environment at Earth Fair that's fun for everyone; visitors of all ages learn how their actions impact our local environment and the significant role we play in the health of our economy and ecosystem. We’re inspiring and challenging citizens to find alternatives to energy, transportation, food, living and gardening so a better earth can be created because, as we all know, our environment is a direct reflection on how we live.
Your adventure into a celebration of Earth Day begins at the gate where you will be assisted with parking and given a guide to the exhibits and activities. Don’t forget spending money because Earth Fair can be a significant source of funding for the grassroots non-profits and local businesses. Plan on starting early for a fun-filled day at Earth Fair!
While dogs are allowed at Goodells County Park, dogs are not allowed inside the Exhibit Barns or Visitor's Center. Earth Fair buildings, exhibits and activities are ADA accessible.
Earth Fair is a smoke-free, tobacco-free event. The use of tobacco products is not permitted on the premises. Thank you for helping us keep the environment clean and the air safe!
Come join us on the night of the New Moon for a guided hike under the stars at Sutherland Nature Sanctuary! Here you will learn a little bit about all the night sky has to offer including astrophysics, planets, constellations, and star lore! Feel free to bring red lights if you have them and dress warm!
