Earth Day On Main
2026-04-25 10:00 - 16:00
Join us for the 4th annual Earth Day on Main celebration! This year, we will be celebrating right in the parking lot at the KPB Office. Each year this event is a little different depending on our current focuses and programs. This year we will not be including vendors, and will focus on eco-friendly activities and educational workshops for the whole family!

We are also curating a local plant swap, just dig one up from your yard and swap it with one you might not have from someone else in the community! We will also be celebrating the efforts of all of the Litter-O-Lympics participants with medals and prizes for who collected the most litter in the competition. Help us celebrate their amazing efforts! (It’s not too late to participate if you want to join in the fun, the competition ends April 18th.)

If you are interested in teaching the community something special or maybe have a fun eco-friendly craft you’d like to include, please contact us!
