Come celebrate with us!
The 2026 Earth Day Celebration will be held on Saturday, April 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Rutherford County’s Historic Downtown Square.
Rutherford County’s Earth Day Celebration is dedicated to educating and mobilizing our community toward meaningful environmental action. This year’s theme, “Go Green, Breathe Clean,” underscores the importance of protecting and improving the air we all share. The event encourages residents to embrace greener habits that reduce pollution and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable environment.
Each of us has a part to play in strengthening our community’s air quality. By working together and making mindful choices, we can reduce pollution, support sustainable practices, and ensure that everyone has access to clean, healthy air—today and for generations to come.

Additional Information
For the Earth Day Celebration to succeed, we need vendor participation. Please review all the information you need to apply and participate including the ‘Rules and Guidelines,' as some items have been updated from previous years. The application deadline is Friday, April 4, but we appreciate having the applications sooner to communicate with the public about booth participants in advance.
The Earth Day Celebration has evolved and grown since it began in 2002. Through the years, we've created a more engaging experience for those who attend. Live music, interactive booths with local environmentally friendly organizations, and an interactive Kids Zone are just some of the things we've added to make this event better.
