Hendo Earth Fest 2024

Celebrate Earth Day with the 2nd Annual Hendo Earth Fest! Saturday, April 20th from 10 AM-3 PM

Location: Main Street from 6th Avenue to 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue east of Wall St. to King with the Maple Parking Lot closed and Edwards Alley closed to vehicles with bicycle access only.

The purpose of the Hendo Earth Fest is to promote community education for all ages on environmental and sustainable practices, inspire action, and renew and expand commitments to protect our planet. Local and regional environmental allies focus on participation/hands-on activities and demonstrations designed to educate, renew and expand action to protect our Western North Carolina environment and natural resources. In our first inaugural 2023 festival, we saw approximately 2,000+ participants!
