Earth Day Springfield Music and Sustainability Festival is April 27th, 2024, at Jordan Valley Park
Hello Springfield! Earth Week is quickly approaching, and we are ready once again to celebrate music and sustainability! We wanted to let you know about the upcoming Earth Day Music Festival right here in downtown Springfield, at Jordan Valley Park on April 27th, 2024.
It is a one-day, plastic-free, music and sustainability festival that is kid-friendly and open to the public! It's the third year for Earth Day Springfield, and the music lineup is better than ever: Langhorne Slim, National Park Radio, Ha Ha Tonka, Molly Healey String Project, and much more. 9 musical acts will appear over two stages at the park between 12 and 8 pm, and doors will open at 11 am.
Walkups are welcome, but we encourage you to get tickets ahead of time at earthdayspringfieldmo.org as it saves money and time at the gate! Earth Day 2024 is proudly presented by Vital Farms, and sponsored by over 50 local and regional businesses. All proceeds are donated to local environmental organizations, and so far we have raised $50,000!
To celebrate the Earth and our beautiful Ozark waterways and green spaces, we have made this festival free of single-use plastics for the third year in a row now. Guests will receive a cup upon entry (the cup is included in the ticket price this year) and it will be theirs to drink out of for the day, whether it be beer, seltzer, or the free water that City Utilities is providing on-site. (Guests are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to bring their own reusable water bottle to drink from throughout the day. There will be no plastic cups available for water or bottled water for sale) Food is provided by food trucks on site, and all food waste is composted by Springfield Compost Collective. Leave no trace!
Kids 12 and under are free, and our 2024 fest will, for the first time, feature a kids' tent where there will be fun earth-themed art projects, a "musical petting zoo" from 12-2, and story time throughout the day.
A pre-fest bike ride will also take place, sponsored by SBC Athletics! Info can be found here: https://www.earthdayspringfieldmo.org/bike-ride
A tree-planting ceremony will also take place before our national headliner, as will a keynote speech by local environmentalist, Bo Brown.

Yours in sustainability,
