Join us at the 27th Annual Mountain Area Earth Day Fair from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, April 23 at the Evergreen Lake House, 29614 Upper Bear Creek Road. Admission will be free to all ages. Donations will be encouraged.

    Growing since 1990 and now one of the largest and most popular Earth Day celebrations in Colorado, the fair regularly features over 50 federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofit organizations and businesses.  Up-to-date information on critical issues will be available for open discussions and to take home.  The festival’s traditional main hold, HawkQuest  will again present its live raptors.

    Local high school students have taken on various planning and hosting tasks.  Middle school groups are planning improvisational performances.

    The first Evergreen Earth Day Fair was held in 1990 at the Old Brick School and was the brainchild of Evergreen Naturalists Audubon Society member Carl Keiser along with community movers and shakers, Mary Dickhoff, Marian Phillips and Etta Satter. Through the years the Fair has grown in size and reputation, featuring environmental and community information. The Evergreen Park and Recreation District has sponsored the fair at the Evergreen Lake House for over a decade.
