The Richmond Earth Day Festival is an outdoor street fest providing education and resources that will help Richmonders incorporate eco-friendly practices into their daily lives, making the city a greener place to live. The festival attracts over 6,000 people of all ages and has something for everyone: local produce from farmers markets, kids art and activities centered around Richmond's unique eco-system and river wildlife, local food, live music, and your favorite golden beverages and crushed grapes. There's also a 5K race, a flood wall climb with zip line, and an outdoor gear swap. The Festival is located in the Mancester District at 220 Hull Street.
