Earth Day Events Phoenix AZ 2016
Phoenix AZ
Big Blue Marble
April 23
7:30 PM
Trinity Episcopal Cathedral
Big Blue Marble puts our relationship with the Earth into perspective with singing, dancing, and clever storytelling. The cost is $32 for adults and $12 for children, and you will get a seat, but it won’t be as comfortable as the one in the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS.
PLANeT Celebration
April 23
9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Desert Botanical Garden
What better place to familiarize yourself with the Earth than the botanical gardens? This years theme: pollinators. What more can you ask for? Take a walk through one or all of five unique trails and learn about botany! There will also be costumes and visitors are encouraged to dress up as their favorite pollinators. We aren’t sure how many pollinators their actually are, but we think the 2016 CLA250 Edition: Orange looks like a wasp of some kind.
Earth Day at Phoenix Zoo
