Earthfest 2009 on April 17th
EarthFest 2009 coming to downtown Dallas on April 17th
The City of Dallas and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in partnership with Downtown Dallas Inc. and Keep Dallas Beautiful, will present EarthFest, the City of Dallas’ Earth Day event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, April 17 in the AT&T and Pegasus Plaza areas of downtown Dallas.
The annual event will feature more than 70 environmental exhibits, including mass transit, recycling, gardening and hybrid technology, plus a special collection of exhibits on children’s environmental health. Entertainment will include a recycled fashion show, many musical performers and a variety of acts and activities. EarthFest's Recycled Fashion Show connects highly creative, cutting-edge design with recycled materials. Last year’s event reached more than 10,000 people. The event will also feature an educational track that allows groups of students to learn from real-life professionals and then take their experiences back to the classroom.
"EarthFest is a great opportunity for people to learn how taking care of our environment supports our social institutions and strengthens our economy,” said Office of Environmental Quality Director Eric Griffin. “Plus the Dallas celebration is just plain good fun whether it'll be your first EarthFest or you've enjoyed it over the years.”
