JCC’s annual Earthfest celebrating Earth Day will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 24.
The event, sponsored by JCC’s Earth Awareness Club and the college program committee of the JCC Faculty Student Association, is free and open to the public.
Weather permitting, Earthfest will be held outside the Hamilton Collegiate Center near the pond. Otherwise, the program is held in the Student Union.
Earthfest features music by acoustic guitarist Jamie Haight, beginning at 11. At noon, Jeff Musial, who has appeared on the “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon,” will present a program with animals from Nickel City Reptiles and Exotics.
Ecofriendly products, nature photography, handcrafted items, plants, and educational displays by local environmental organizations are also featured.
JCC’s Earth Awareness Club promotes an increased understanding and appreciation of the natural world and its creatures, wise environmental stewardship, enhanced knowledge of important environmental issues, compassionate living, and local awareness and action.
