Please mark your calendars for Green Ossining’s 12th Annual Earth Day Festival. This year’s event expects to return to its live-and-in-person format at Louis B. Engel Waterfront Park on April 23rd from 10am-5pm. Join the greater Ossining community in our annual celebration of Earth Day. Bring family and friends. Learn how to live a more sustainable life, visit artisan vendors, and enjoy food and live music on the banks of the Hudson River.
What we have learned over the past couple of years is that environmentally friendly housing, parks, roads, and everything that sustains us are no longer an option but our lifeline. The Village of Ossining sits on 3.2 square miles on the banks of the majestic Hudson River, and we are enthusiastic to once again support the Earth Day Festival, which every year becomes the green education hub for all who want to learn how they can continue to lean into being the stewards of our environment.
"As we honor the 52nd anniversary of Earth Day, we remain keenly aware of the great challenges affecting our natural environment, our planet, and life as we know it. We also believe that there is much we can each personally do to affect positive change through the everyday choices we each have the power to make. You'll find many things you love about festivals - food, music, artisans, activities – but we hope you'll also join us in our recognition of the urgency to action that is needed. As well, we encourage you to show us what matters to you by bringing posters or signs that amplify your voice about environmental issues, reflecting your environmental concerns, thoughts on policy changes needed, and/or social justice impacts that you want to remind people of as a result of our changing climate." said Suzie Ross, Chairperson and founding member, Green Ossining.
