Earth Day Festival

FREE event for the Community

Celebrate our Earth with a day outdoors in

Vista’s OWN beautiful 14-acre Botanical Gardens on April 18!

Connect with nature and go GREEN at this FREE fun event! We start at 10 am with activities for the kiddos, live music, and vendors for food, plants, gifts, art and more!

Children will make origami ladybugs and Noodle Necklaces, handle worms and compost, plant sunflowers, blow on bubble baskets, sort trash, paint "Earth Day Rocks!" and visit the fun-filled Children’s Garden.

Enjoy music by Vic Moraga on guitar, Monte Vista’s Ukulele Club, and Mission Meadows Kids College Dance. This year we welcome a new addition - the Amplified Earth Teen Band Showcase from 1 to 3 pm.

Experience our nine Ricardo Breceda sculptures, starting with the slithering Sea Serpent in the Children’s Garden. Our GrowGetters Plant Sale includes succulents, flowers, veggies, herbs, and gardening advice.

Check out our Garden Shop filled with crafts, snacks, plants, and treats for all.

Take a break and buy a tasty BBQ lunch and beverages from Amigos de Vista Lions.

Vendors will line the driveway and offer environmentally friendly information as well as tasty treats, art, and crafts.

Vendors application is on the website and due by April 1; join us for a fun community day! Volunteers are welcome! Students please contact carolejay@att.net and adults please contact volunteeravbg@gmail.com .

Event for all ages is FREE – our treat for the community.
