The event is open to the public, and Eventbrite says registration is not required.

The school says that work is aimed at education, campus engagement and institutional policy. (csudh.edu) That context helps explain why the festival mixes family-friendly booths and music with demonstrations and outreach. The university’s Earth Day organization says its mission is to bring together students, campus groups and off-campus community members to share ideas that improve environmental health and well-being. (torolink.csudh.edu) The festival also lands during a week when Los Angeles event guides are packed with Earth Day programming, from garden events to upcycling workshops. We Like L.A. included the CSUDH festival in its April 20–24 roundup of things to do across the region. (welikela.com) This year’s edition marks the 19th annual festival, giving the Carson campus one of the longer-running Earth Day traditions in the California State University system. On Tuesday, the focus is simple: a free daytime gathering that turns the walkways at Dominguez Hills into a public showcase for local sustainability work. (csudh.edu)
