Earth Day Festival at Shelby Farms Park

CELEBRATE WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT GOING GREEN IN YOUR COMMUNITY

Earth Day is officially celebrated across the world every year on April 22, but we treat every day like Earth Day at Shelby Farms Park! Sustainability is at the heart of all we do ⏤ from providing electric vehicle charging stations with solar panels, to landscaping with native plants and removing invasive species from Park forests, to heating and cooling indoor spaces with a geothermal system.

Celebrate with us at the Earth Day Festival presented by International Paper! You “herd” it here first! You will not want to miss our Park mascot, Bob the Buffalo, leading the way through our Earth Day celebrations from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Saturday, April 20. Adults and kids alike will have opportunities to experience, explore, and learn different ways of going green in Memphis!

EXPLORE Kick the festivities off with our Fun Run around Hyde Lake at 10 a.m. We’ll also have a kid’s zone with inflatables and lots of yard games. Get a preview of the 2024 Get Outside! Fitness program with free classes on the Visitor Center lawn. Plus, we’ll have plenty of music and food trucks for you to enjoy throughout the Festival!

LEARN Join us for “booth chats” throughout the day. We will have more than 25 organizations set up to discuss their approaches to sustainability. They are planning fun ways to share their mission and how they make the earth a better place. Each booth will have a five minute chat at the Event Stage, so check the schedule to make sure you don’t miss anything!
