The City of Chula Vista’s annual South Bay Earth Day is Saturday, April 13 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the Chula Vista Bayfront Park located at 980 Marina Way.
South Bay Earth Day is presented by the Port of San Diego Experiences and has been organized by the City of Chula Vista since 2018. Chula Vista is a leader in sustainability awareness and activity, rolling out citywide recycling programs in 1993, joining the U.S. Conference of Mayors in 1997, and publishing its first Climate Action Plan in 2000. Chula Vista also developed an Operations Sustainability Plan and Waste Reduction Strategic Plan, or Zero Waste Plan, that considers “People, Planet, and Prosperity” as the “triple bottom line” to achieve social, environmental, and economic sustainability in the local community.
“The City is proud to provide the South Bay community with a sixth year of this event,” said Chula Vista Mayor John McCann in a city press release. “Our hope is to celebrate and promote our love for sustainability, while providing a dynamic opportunity for attendees to learn about environmentally friendly lifestyles. This year we are excited to have such amazing talent to celebrate with us and hope that this event continues to grow in the coming years.”
South Bay Earth Day will feature headline entertainment by the band Ozomatli, supported by Selena tribute band Dreaming of You. This zero-waste celebration of our precious planet will also include family-friendly activities, workshops, exhibits, vendors, art, food and drink, and nonprofits to motivate visitors to mindfully choose environmentally friendly and sustainable products, lifestyles, and habits.
