We are so excited to be holding this year’s Earth Day Festival at the Earleigh Heights Volunteer Fire Company! This location which sees 50-60,000 cars pass per day will help us draw even more attention to important issues around the well-being of people and the planet.
With so many great opportunities to learn, engage with knowledgeable people, have fun, listen to music and eat great food, we hope this one day event will inspire people all year long. Stay tuned for exciting new events at the Festival this year!
Meanwhile, we’ll once again host our Good Neighbors Depot to unload unwanted items with a mind toward sustainability. We’ll have opportunities to recycle, upcycle and donate what you no longer need while helping others. Check back here as we build the list of items we’ll accept at the event.

Some History
Each year for the last 20 years, more than 30 organizations and vendors, including all Severna Park public schools, join together to create this wonderful event that aims to educate and engage the community in a fun and meaningful way. Booths feature interactive activities for children of all ages, as well as materials and information for home owners striving to increase their understanding and make eco-friendly improvements in their homes. Exhibitors include environmental organizations and service providers, animal welfare organizations, recycling and composting exhibitors, and alternative energy specialists. Going green has never been easier or more enjoyable! The Festival also focuses on the well-being of the Earth’s inhabitants with physical and mental wellness offerings. Come explore our eco-marketplace with plants, handmade and up-cycled offerings.
From its beginnings at St. Martin’s in the Field, to its move to Severna Park Middle School 2011-2016, the Severna Park Earth Day Festival continues to grow and is now held at Severna Park High School. Sponsored by Good Neighbors Group and with senior Project Mangers from the Severna Park High School Leadership Program, the Festival is an enjoyable and important community tradition. Be a part of it!
Go Green, Severna Park
