About Us:

The primary mission of the Newtown Earth Day Festival is to foster education and awareness of environmental stewardship through project participation and collaboration with local associations. Held annually in April (our 2015 Festival will be on Saturday, May 2nd), this community event brings together schools, municipal and charitable organizations, sustainable vendors, and non-profits, in a synergistic celebration of good deeds for our space on the planet.

Organized by various members of our community, the festival provides a forum for residents of all ages to become more engaged in the collective consciousness and responsibility we owe to the health of Newtown - and to our region's soil, air, and water.

To help make a difference, a portion of all monies collected funds a "green" scholarship through the Newtown Scholarship Association for Newtown High School graduates interested in environmental/ecological studies. Over the last four years, we have raised over $5,000 dollars and have been fortunate to be able to support one student.  Your involvement can help us grow this.
