Central Florida Earth Day

Central Florida Earth is brought to you by Vegetarians of Central Florida, a social and educational group for vegans and those aspiring to be in the Central Florida area. The 16th annual Central Florida Earth Day will happen on Sunday, April 25, 2021 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Lake Eola Park (northeast side).

We are thrilled to announce that Central Florida Earth Day will combine efforts with the It's Just Yoga Festival. Both events will happen simultaneously and adjacent to each other on the northeast side of the park (the Orlando Farmer's Market will also happen in the southeast side of the park).
