Earth Day in the South Bay 2011

What was once a day to celebrate Environmental Activism in the '60s & '70s has now practically turned into a month long movement in April where a diverse array of "green activities" that range from a lesson on how to clean your home or apartment with just vinegar, to more festive events like a free movie or concert can be found throughout our bio-dome. The South Bay is no stranger to the idea of being green and since the official Earth Day is just around the corner, April 22, we at South Bay Events have put together a list of local events dedicated to the green month of April.


The City of Manhattan Beach Parks & Recreation Departmanealong with V.O.I.C.E. will be hosting their 19th Annual Earth Day Celebration and Concert at Polliwog Park Saturday, April 16, 2011 from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This is a FREE event that has a way to be green for every family member. Learn how to shop and be eco-friendly at the same time, watch a bike pararde, buy some vegan food, or attend some free eco-living classes. A schedule of events is listed below:
