Earth Day

Alexandria Earth Day is the city-wide festival
celebrating the importance of the environment

For the fifth straight year, families, students and singles come together with pro-environment businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies to support a cleaner, greener Alexandria community for our kids and ourselves.

Earth Day is a year-round
celebration of stewardship

School-age children work on entries for the Youth in Action Environmental Project Competition and 4-H Expo and Talent Show events.

Organizations and businesses prepare educational exhibits for Alexandria Earth Day.

The Alexandria Environmental Almanac -- a compendium of articles about Alexandria by citizens of Alexandria -- is widely distributed year- round, reminding people that environmental stewardship is a full-time activity. And, there's the Almanac-on-the-Web, right here, year-round.

Individual volunteers give generously of their time and talents throughout the planning year.

Sponsoring businesses lend their in-kind and financial support, while achieving their marketing and community relations goals.

City agencies donate staff time and support services. Together, the greater community creates an outstanding Alexandria Earth Day event for everyone.

Join the fun in 1998. Support and attend Alexandria's 5th annual Earth Day! Help create a cleaner, greener city for today and tomorrow.
