After months of careful planning and organization by several dedicated volunteers from the SEA Earth Day Committee, and with help from over a dozen volunteers day-of, the 2024 Earth Day Festival was a resounding success. Held on April 20th, the festival drew a larger crowd than last year and featured a diverse lineup of organizations, groups, and agencies tabling at the event. This created a vibrant atmosphere and provided attendees with ample opportunities to learn about local initiatives, connect with their community, and celebrate the beauty of nature.
One of the highlights of the festival was its commitment to sustainability. In keeping with the national theme of “plastic-free,” nearly all tables adhered to a plastic-free policy, making the event a conscious and eco-friendly affair. This was a significant step towards reducing the festival’s environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices in the community.
For those who chose to cycle to the festival, the Shasta Wheelmen provided a safe and secure bike parking area, ensuring that their bikes were well-protected. The festival also featured a lineup of talented artists who performed live music throughout the day, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. Additionally, a range of stellar food vendors offered delicious and unique treats, including raw cheesecake bites that were a hit with attendees.

Children were kept entertained with a variety of interactive booths, while adults had the opportunity to engage with information booths and learn about important environmental issues. The festival provided a fantastic opportunity for attendees to come together, share knowledge, and celebrate the planet we call home.
The SEA Earth Day Committee would love to hear feedback from attendees about the event. Attendees are encouraged to fill out a short survey to provide their thoughts and suggestions, which will be used to improve future Earth Day Festivals.
SEA extends its heartfelt gratitude to all of the volunteers, organizations, sponsors, and attendees who made the 2024 Earth Day Festival such a remarkable success. It was a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone involved, and the committee looks forward to building on this success in the years to come.
