About this Event
Earth Fair is a free, family-friendly celebration of sustainability in action. Join us on April 19, 2026, to explore hands-on activities, educational sessions, live demonstrations, interactive art installations, live music and food trucks, plus plant, tree, and compost giveaways — all hosted by City departments and sustainable community partners.
From land and water to food, energy, waste, resilience, and culture, Earth Fair highlights the many ways we can work together to build a healthier, more resilient Tampa.
Come learn something new, connect with local organizations, enjoy great food and entertainment, and leave inspired — and maybe with a free plant, too!
