Earth Day is a global celebration of planet Earth, the place we all call home, and in Orlando there are many opportunities to connect with nature, get outdoors, and protect the planet for future generations.
Earth Day is a reminder to all of us to dedicate our time, resources, and energy to solving climate change and the many environmental issues that face us all.
Growing out of the first Earth Day in 1970, this year, Earth Day takes place on Tuesday, April 22, 202, and throughout Central Florida you will discover many events taking place throughout the month, including eco-friendly events, vegan food festivals, neighborhood clean-up's, and more.
Take this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for a greener future, and find inspiration to make positive changes in your own life, and contribute to a healthier planet.
With so many events taking place throughout Central Florida we have brought together all the events celebrating Earth Day 2025 right here, as more events get announced we will add them to the list, so check back often.
