Background

Earth Day-Day of the Child is Watsonville’s magnificent local celebration, not only of our Earth but also of the youth who stand to inherit the planet for generations to come. The historic annual  Watsonville Earth Day-Day of the Child festival aims to bring knowledge, resources, and cultural inspiration to our residents, especially the young, to inspire them to be lovers and protectors of the earth and all it has to give us.


After two years of celebrating Earth Day in small group service due to COVID-19, we welcome you back to the Watsonville Plaza to celebrate in person. Join us to participate in fun educational activities and cultural entertainment with your kids!


Open to everyone & free

This event is family-friendly and free of charge. In order to keep everybody safe, please do not come if you are feeling sick. Otherwise, we hope to see you there!


Parking

FREE parking is available in the parking garages on Rodriguez or West Beach Street.
