🌎 And... another amazing Earth Day is in the books!

Santa Rosa, we had a beautiful weekend of celebration, conservation, and connecting with community. Our Earth Day Creek Cleanups saw 68 participants across three locations who cleaned up 5.5 cubic yards (!) of trash from our creeks. And our annual festival, with five great performers and 64 incredible vendors, saw more than 1,500 attendees who came out to eat, dance, celebrate, and connect — cloudy weather or not!

We’re sending a HUGE thank you to all of you who joined us last weekend and made it something special. Plus, endless thanks to all our partner organizations, sponsors, vendors, performers, and volunteers — our annual festival could not happen without you. Finally, as always, thank you to our presenting sponsor, Sonoma Water.

Our Earth is worth celebrating, and we’re so glad we could do it with all of you!
