WKU's annual Earth Day Festival April 19

The Student Government Association’s Sustainability Committee and the Office of Sustainability will host the 2018 Earth Day Festival from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 19 in Centennial Mall on WKU’s main campus.

The event is free and open to the public, and attendees can park in the Diddle South Visitor Pay Lot.

The annual Earth Day Festival is a celebration of the planet and sustainability featuring informational booths, demonstrations, art, activities and local vendors. WKU students and community members will share their sustainability stories, efforts, projects and programs.

Entertainment will include Big Red, the WKU TrebleMakers, the WKU Redshirts and Dr. Molly Kerby’s band “Just Us.” President Timothy C. Caboni also is scheduled to attend.

Organizers are attempting to make the event zero waste. Recyclables include paper, cardboard, aluminum and rigid plastics No. 1-7. If there’s severe weather on April 19, the event will be rescheduled.

For information or to request a table, contact Ian Hamilton at ian.hamilton410@topper.wku.edu or call the Office of Sustainability at (270) 745-2508.
