Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival

In 1970, CEC launched one of the largest and longest-running Earth Day celebrations in the United States. Attracting over 28,000 people and 150+ eco-friendly exhibitors each year, the Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival features two days of live music and speakers, CEC’s Environmental Hero Award ceremony, the nation’s longest-running public Green Car Show, and family-friendly experiences.

The Hub

Located in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara at 1219 State Street, CEC’s Environmental Hub hosts regular film screenings, lectures, and other free public events that bring the community together to connect and be inspired. CEC invites corporations to underwrite or sponsor these events to help offset the cost to produce them. Examples include film screenings, lectures and book signings by notable authors, community forums, summits, and annual events like our Plastic-Free Expo. Learn more at envirohubsb.org/public-events.
