9:00 am-1:00 pm
In celebration of Earth Day, the City of Columbia is hosting a Climate Action Fair on Boyd Plaza designed to educate, inspire, and engage the public around environmental awareness and sustainability.
The carnival-like fair features free face painting, a photo booth, music, and appearances by local mascots such as the City’s Recycling Wizard and Cocky. In addition, the fair showcases interactive booths hosted by environmental organizations and hands-on workshops like haiku writing and seed planting. The event will also include a climate-themed virtual art unveiling, with participating artists holding a panel discussion about their role in engaging the public in climate conversations.
Local artist Easel Cathedral (aka Tranhern Cook) will live-paint a work of art, which will be raffled off to attendees through free tickets distributed by environmental educators.
This is a FREE family friendly event brought to you by the Columbia Climate Protection Action Committee (CPAC) with co-hosts SC Public Health Association and Central Midlands Council of Governments.
