Green Living Magazine, the City of Phoenix and Shape Up US hosted Earth Day Extravaganza 2023.
On April 22, a cohort of eco-minded sustainability superstars descended on Heritage and Science Park in Downtown Phoenix to celebrate Earth Day.
In partnership with the City of Phoenix, Shape Up US and the Arizona Science Center, Green Living was proud to host this Earth Day celebration to honor our planet and bring awareness of the importance of conservation to our community.
The morning began with live music from a DJ and a variety of bands including WildeP’lay, 24th Street Jazz Band, and Jonah Littlesunday — a Diné Native American flutist who has performed around the country. Throughout the day, visitors to the event were able to test drive and register to win a Lectric Bike and indulge in incredible vegan bites from the likes of Maya’s Cajun Kitchen, Trash Panda Vegan, Hot Sauce and Pepper, Jasper’s and Witnessing Nature in Food. Chef Jason Wyerick from The Vegan Taste wowed the crowd with a spectacular live cooking demonstration.
Event goers were also able to enjoy live drumming circles and exhibitions of yoga and QiGong; test drive EV models from Polestar and Volkswagen and engage with a variety of like-minded, eco-friendly vendors.
Phoenix Vice Mayor Yassamin Ansari unveiled an art installation created by well-known Phoenix artist and owner of DreamBox Art, Krista Hill, and shared about her goals to build a more sustainable and equitable city.
The day wrapped up with an exciting kids eco-fashion show presented by More Than Models that showcased designs from 18-year-old ASU student Lena Mars.
