Embrace sustainability at Green Ossining’s 15th annual Earth Day Festival, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 26, 2025, at Louis Engel Waterfront Park, in Ossining. As the largest Earth Day festival in Westchester County, the event showcases live music, artisan vendors, eco-demonstrations and hands-on activities designed to inspire environmental action. The festival is hosted by Green Ossining with support from the town and village of Ossining and attendance is free.

Visitors can explore zero-waste initiatives, meet environmental advocacy organizations and learn practical ways to reduce their carbon footprint. The festival features a Kids’ Activity Zone, a textile and e-waste recycling drive and teachings from Native Elder Nancy Andry (Algonquin/French). Local food vendors will offer sustainable fare, including vegetarian and vegan options, alongside craft beer from regional breweries. Live performances throughout the day will include the Mike Risko Band, Fred Gillen Jr. and The Stella Blues Band.

“As we honor the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, and our 15th, we remain keenly aware of the great challenges affecting our natural environment,” says Suzie Ross, chairperson and founding member of Green Ossining. “This year, we ask everyone to step up and commit to making behavioral changes that will positively affect our environment. Ask us how, and we’ll show you.”
