Earth Day Festival
Good Neighbors Group
Saturday, April 25, 10:00am-2:00pm
For 24 years, the Good Neighbors Group has been bringing residents of the greater Severna Park area together for its Earth Day Festival to educate attendees about the world and how to better take care of the community and themselves.
This year’s event will take place at a new location, Severna Park United Methodist Church, though the mission will remain the same. Good Neighbors Group will again bring together organizations, vendors and school groups to create a fun, engaging and meaningful event.
Exhibitors at the free festival will include environmental and animal welfare organizations, recycling and composting exhibitors, alternative energy specialists, and others. Attendees can enjoy food and music and are encouraged to bring unwanted items to the Good Neighbors Depot. Learn more at
