Morgan Hill Earth Day Festival Free Community Event

Morgan Hill’s Earth Day festival returns Saturday, April 25, with a free five-hour community event at the city’s Community & Cultural Center. (morganhill.ca.gov) The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 17000 Monterey Road and is hosted by the City of Morgan Hill’s Environmental Services team with the American Association of University Women Morgan Hill Climate Education and Action Committee. (morganhill.ca.gov) (aauwmh.org) Organizers say attendees can expect booths with sustainability and climate-action information, food trucks, vendors, plant and craft sales, and free bike repairs. (morganhilltimes.com) (morganhill.ca.gov) The festival has become a recurring local Earth Day event rather than a one-off celebration. Morgan Hill Times’ April 20 preview called this year’s gathering the fifth annual Community Earth Day Festival, and the city’s partner group said it is again working with Morgan Hill on the program. (morganhilltimes.com) (aauwmh.org) That partnership reflects how the event is structured: city staff provide the public venue and logistics, while local groups use the day to connect residents with practical programs, volunteer opportunities and home-scale environmental habits. (morganhill.ca.gov) (aauwmh.org) One featured component this year comes from the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority, which is using the event for a Coyote Valley Discovery Days stop focused on habitat restoration, public access and local agriculture. The agency said its Morgan Hill booth area will include family activities, free snacks and giveaways, with no registration required. (openspaceauthority.org) (eventbrite.com) The event’s format has stayed broad over the past several years. Morgan Hill Times coverage of the 2023 festival described the same Community & Cultural Center site and an Earth Day program organized by the local American Association of University Women chapter, while a 2024 preview said the festival promoted conservation, sustainability and climate awareness.
