Earth Day Celebrations In New York City

The idea of celebrating Earth Day in the biggest city in the country may seem counterintuitive, but in New York, we value the little green space we have and welcome any opportunity to do so.

This is why Earth Day celebrations this year include so many fantastic activities, such as picnics in parks, outdoor music festivals, and public performance art.

Why not check out one of these events this weekend if you're going to be in the city and need another way to celebrate Mother Earth and the wonderful weather we've been having?

EarthFair at Grand Central Terminal

The most significant Earth Day event in New York City this year is the EarthFair at Grand Central Terminal. This event, which is totally free and has performances, interactive displays, delectable treats from green food vendors, and kid-friendly activities, is expected to be highly popular with both New Yorkers and tourists.

CO2 E Drive & Green Vehicle Fashion Show
