| SANTA BARBARA, CA – The Community Environmental Council (CEC) will postpone its 2020 Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival at Alameda Park until July 10-12, 2020 at Alameda Park.
“While we are eager to bring our community together in honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, our focus is on ensuring we do this in a safe way that supports public health,” stated Kathi King, Earth Day Festival Director. “As one of the longest-running Earth Day celebrations in the country, this event is a cornerstone of environmental action in our region, and we did not make the decision lightly.”
CEC is looking for other meaningful ways in April to honor Earth Day and the good work of the regional environmental community, and welcomes input and ideas onto what this could look like.
Sigrid Wright, CEO of CEC, stated, “CEC’s long-term mission to provide regional solutions to the many threats evolving from a warming climate has never felt more relevant. We are leaning into this current public health crisis to do what we have always done: work closely with the community to build solutions that leave us healthy, strong and resilient.”
As CEC continues to monitor the evolving coronavirus situation, they will post updates to events at SBEarthDay.org. In the interim, there are still ways to sign up and get involved with the festival:
CEC is partnering with Carp Events, Cultivate Events, LoaTree, Lucidity, New Noise Music Foundation, Oniracom, Pharos Creative, WA Event Management, and Write Kinda Girl to produce the festival. |
