Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the 2026 Earth Day Festival in Centennial Park! This free, all-ages event celebrates our amazing planet and features music, a parade, arts activities for kids, sustainability initiatives and education, great food and drink, local vendors, a free tree giveaway and really good vibes!

Proceeds from Earth Day will fund environmental projects across Nashville including urban canopy restoration, waterway clean-up, bee pollinator programs and more. For more information visit: www.nashvilleearthday.org!
