Earth Day at Oak Cliff

Feb 28, 2025 08:44AM ● By Bernice Butler

The 16th annual Oak Cliff Earth Day celebration will be held from noon to 5 p.m., April 13, at Lake Cliff Park. The grassroots green festival founded by local volunteers that wanted to educate the community about protecting our planet features green vendors, eco-friendly businesses and environmental nonprofits that promote the importance of air quality, clean water, the food we eat and our quality of life.

The family-friendly festival features live entertainment and food vendors, and organizers are working toward becoming a zero waste event. The Dallas Zoo will be the title sponsor. Organizer Lybo Buchanan says, “We will be taking baby steps on how we can best accomplish this with what we have. It will be a learning experience for us, and hopefully an education we can share with others.”

Location: 300 E. Colorado Blvd., Dallas. For more information about sponsorships and vending, visit OakCliffEarthDay.com. Volunteers can email [email protected].
