The third annual Green Apple Festival will take place across the
country this Sunday April 20th, as an eclectic line-up of artists will
perform FREE shows in landmark parks in eight cities. In the spirit of
The Wetlands, the events will combine music and environmental
addresses by prominent speakers, the presence of a wide variety of
environmental organizations and educational displays on the theme of
environmental awareness.
The all-inclusive, interactive and free public events will occur in
New York City (Central Park), Chicago IL (Lincoln Park Zoo), Miami FL
(Bicentennial Park), Denver CO (City Park), Dallas TX (Fair Park), San
Francisco CA (Golden Gate Park) and Los Angeles CA (Santa Monica
Pier). The flagship event will be Earth Day 2008 on the National Mall
in Washington, DC.
The combined efforts of Earth Day Network (the nonprofit organization
created by the founders of the original Earth Day in 1970) and Green
Apple Festival has resulted in plans for a nationwide gathering that
will get Americans out of their homes and under the trees to celebrate
Earth Day 2008.
