Join the Green Celebration: South Bay Earth Day Returns to Chula Vista
Here is another great event happening this weekend in Chula Vista. The 9th annual South Bay Earth Day celebration invites you and your family to enjoy a day packed with eco-friendly fun, live entertainment, and valuable sustainability education. The event will take place at the Chula Vista Marina, which is on the south side of the bayfront by the boat launch. Parking is limited, so visitors can ride a bike or get there early.
Last year’s event was amazing, and so many people turned out to have fun and enjoy the day. We can’t wait to see what they have for us this year. Best of all, this event is completely free and welcomes participants of all ages.
Eco-Friendly Shopping at the South Bay Earth Day
Get ready to browse dozens of vendors selling sustainable products including:
- Home Furnishings
- Jewelry
- Clothing
- Garden supplies
They also have informational booths from local community organizations to teach your family how to reduce your carbon footprint. Some of the booths have hands-on displays, and kids will love them.
Hands-On Activities
- Try the popular tie-dye workshop to breathe new life into plain fabrics
- Visit the Fix-It Clinic to repair broken electronics and other items
- Explore the Kid Zone, where children can meet live animals and learn about conservation
Enjoy Live Music and Entertainment All Day
One of the big attractions of the event is the live music; last year, the Selina cover band had people dancing. This year, the event kicks off at noon with music by DJ A-One, followed by Chula Vista Mayor John McCann officially opening the celebration at 12:10 p.m. Don’t miss One Drop Redemption performing at 2:30 p.m., bringing energy and excitement to this event.
Special Feature: Fix-It Clinic
The San Diego Fixit Clinic returns from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., where volunteer coaches will help you learn how to repair your items instead of replacing them. They can assist with:
- Bicycle repairs (both road and mountain bikes)
- Small appliance fixes
- Electronics troubleshooting
Space for the Fix-It Clinic is limited, so be sure to RSVP at http://bit.ly/EarthDayChulaVista. Based on last year’s long lines, early registration is highly recommended!
