Denver joins the ranks of 8 cities in celebrating Earth Day with the Green Apple Festival - a free gathering featuring music and speakers to raise environmental awareness. Denver’s celebration kicks off at 12 noon on April 20th at City Park. Music acts to include The Neville Brothers, The Benevento/Russo Duo, Rose Hill Drive, and The Heydey. The event promises to "combine environmental addresses by prominent speakers and educational displays with music and entertainment, on the theme of environmental awareness." It might not quite match the star power of New York, D.C., etc. but it should make for a fine Sunday afternoon.

The festival is not limited to just Sunday though. Events will be happening at venues across Denver and Boulder.  Check out the Green Apple Festival link below for more info.  Christine Spehar, a frequent contributor to Cairn, will be promoting Ruckus Roots at the Earth Day event in Boulder at the Fox on Sunday. So no matter where you live, get out there and show your support for Mother Earth! For more information on all these goings on as well as Earth Day check out the links below:
