North Richmond Programs
North Richmond Green Festival
Annual North Richmond Green Festival “Earth Day” is organized by the North Richmond Green Committee along with other community partners. The day is filled with beautification projects in the morning such as street clean ups, art projects, and garden activities. The community then gathers for a celebration with live music, food, kid’s activities, eco-activities, interactive tabling, and more. The festival aims at increasing awareness of environmental justice problems and solutions, engage residents in beautification projects, and create unity in the community.
