Earth Day Fort Collins inspires community members to honor the Earth EVERY DAY and features a combination of activities and events for the entire family, including informational booths and displays, kids activities, arts & crafts, live music, speakers, food trucks, farmers market and a beer garden.

Earth Day 2025 will be a historic moment when citizens of the world rise up in a united call for the creativity, innovation, ambition, and bravery that we need to meet our climate crisis and seize the enormous opportunities of a zero-carbon future.

This event is Free! Please bring a non-perishable item for the Food Bank for Larimer County.

Join us for this day of global action!

We can’t wait to see you at Earth Day!  If you can pitch in and volunteer for a shift you’ll get a FREE commemorative t-shirt and the glory of knowing you are doing good in the world. It’s easy to sign up and feel free to invite a friend to join you.

Inspired by Earthday.org’s My Future My Voice Youth Ambassador program, we are asking local youths to express their visions and desires for the future. 

.

Why? Because we believe that creative expression raises awareness and can help us dream the world we want, and help us remember our interconnection to each other and all life.

.

And because we believe that beauty, creativity, interaction, and collaboration are necessary to create a world where we all not only survive but thrive, and that youth voices are crucial to help motivate and inspire the action we need.

We invite all students between the ages of 11-18 to submit short stories, essays or poems. The winners in each category will have an opportunity to read their work on the Main Stage at Earth Day Fort Collins. All submissions are due by noon on Friday, April 12th.

ReGeneration Youth Art Project – Making Our Future Through Collective Action

The purpose of ReGeneration Youth Art Project is to engage youth in climate change advocacy by sharing their visions and inspiring collective action through art, hands-on learning, and self expression.

We believe art is a natural connector that can provide space to process emotional anxieties, anger, or passiveness regarding climate change, and can help foster transformative change and dialogue that advances health and wellbeing.

Thoughts to Ponder: What does collective action for the environment mean to you? What does it look like? How can you inspire collective action? What are your perspectives and visions for climate action and solutions? What actions and solutions do you want to inspire for our shared future on planet Earth?

Wild Roots Studio offers soulful nature-based workshops for children to strengthen their connection to nature and wildly explore their creativity. At Wild Roots, we support the idea that there is something magical in combining nature and art. It returns us to a simplicity, wonder, and soulful place where we find connection & peace.

Nature-based crafts are a great way to enjoy the outdoors, promote sustainability, and encourage little ones to discover the enchantment of Mother Nature. From this comes an understanding of how special our environment is and how important it is to take care of it.
