Learn About Nature

How can you protect the environment if you don’t know about it? The St. Clair County Earth Fair provides tons of hands-on experiences and learning opportunities for all ages. It’s the perfect place to learn about local conservation efforts, support local vendors, and experience the wonder of the natural world.  The Earth Fair is open Friday, April 24th, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday, April 25th, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Goodells Park. Admission is free, and parking is free and plentiful. 

Vendors and Exhibits

What can you expect at the Earth Fair? So many things! Vendors are selling farm-to-table products, exhibitors are sharing their knowledge about the world around us, and conservationists are providing their expertise. Kids can take a turn holding a tarantula, use a microscope to look at what’s in the water, and much more. While this event is very kid-friendly, adults will find the exhibits equally engaging. 

Be Prepared!

Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. The event is designed for all ages. Expect buses full of children on Friday as many schools take field trips to the Earth Fair. There are food vendors on site and plenty of room at the park to spread out and enjoy a picnic. There are typically thousands of visitors every year and over 70 vendors, so it’s easy to spend an entire day exploring.

The full list of exhibitors and vendors, and a map, can be found here. The Earth Fair started as the St. Clair Conservation District’s tree sale and has grown into a beloved local tradition that blends environmental education with fun.
