After two years of being held virtually, the Piedmont Earth Day Fair will be in person, rain or shine, at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds on Saturday, April 23, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Piedmont Environmental Alliance volunteers and staff have put together activities that celebrate our planet and showcase our power to come together and build a more just, resilient, and environmentally sustainable region.

The fair has something for everyone. Two Kid Zones offer top-notch programming for kids of all ages, and many exhibitors also have kids’ activities. Get your hands dirty and learn new ways to green your life from experts at one of our demonstration areas. Engage in “freecycling” at the Swap Shop. Take a moment to connect, breathe, and stretch with yoga for kids and adults. And visit more than 75 earth-friendly exhibitors to learn about local conservation activities, beekeeping, green products, native plants, and much more.

Two special activities for young people showcase the next generation’s commitment to address climate change. An environmental art contest for K-12 age students will be judged by local artists. And throughout the day, student debate teams will argue both sides of hot-button environmental issues.

You can also mellow out at two stages presenting top local musicians whose music encompasses boogie, blues, folk, and jazz. And several food vendors will offer a variety of tasty, locally sourced meals and snacks.

This day wouldn’t be possible without the support of our corporate sponsors and community partners. For more information about sponsors and the program schedule, visit peanc.org/EDF.
