Earth Fest 2025
April 26th 10a.m. – 2 p.m.
Hailey’s first Earth Fest happened 5 years ago - 50 years after the first Earth Day was established as an international day to recognize our amazing earth and recommit to our continued stewardship of the delicate environmental balance of our planet. Our Earth Day Festival (shortened to “Earth Fest”) continues to grow and change and this year is no exception.
A Sneak Peek at this year’s Earth Fest
Earth Fest 2025 is all about exploring circularity of our material goods and involves all the ordinary and fantastic things we each can do in our daily lives to maintain the Earth as a habitable planet. The concept of circularity is summed up in this poster and is more often known by the many Re’s it includes: reduce, reuse, refurbish, repair, repurpose, regenerate, rethink, etc.
Earth Fest activities
The day will begin with our Earth Fest Five K Fun Run

Repurposing ‘waste’ items
Individuals, groups and businesses share how to make something new and fun out of items we tend to use and just throw away.
