The Earth Day Indiana Festival is experiencing two big moves ths year – from the unpredictable weather of March to June, and from Downtown to the pastoral setting of Garfield Park.
The festival will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 5, which is also World Environmental Day. The event promotes conservation of natural resources, environmental protection, and sustainable living through art, music, food, hands-on fun, education, and inspiration.
But organizers noted that over 130 volunteers are needed to help make this festival a success – and afternoon shift volunteers are especially needed. There are volunteer opportunities for everyone, from the children’s tent to the bike corral to the beer tent.
