Earth Day in downtown Kalamazoo
KNC has partnered with Kalamazoo Earth Day for several years. In the spirit of promoting collaborative action that leads to a more sustainable, supportive, and equitable community, the Kalamazoo Earth Day Festival is coordinating an exciting series of events that connects neighborhoods to celebrate and share in the work of creating a better place for all on April 22 from 11 am – 7 pm.
Travel to three Kalamazoo neighborhoods (Edison, Oakwood, and Vine) to enjoy good music, food, and environmental education. Learn more on the activities in the Kalamazoo community here >
For the second year in a row, the Kalamazoo Electric Vehicle Association will present an EV show-and-tell at the Nature Center, to help celebrate Drive Electric Earth Day on Saturday, April 22.
Everyone is invited to see about a dozen examples of the latest battery-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Vehicle owners will answer questions and share the many advantages of EVs compared with gasoline-powered cars in the real world, including reduced harm to the environment.
This event is completely free and open to the public. Come down to the lower parking lot any time between 10:30 am and 3 pm to learn what today’s EVs are really about.
KNC invites you to sponsor our Earth Day Celebration. Since Earth Day was first recognized in 1970, KNC has offered free admission to the community to help increase understanding and appreciation of the natural world. A sponsorship places your business in front of our 6,200+ membership base and the greater Kalamazoo community.
