Earth DayTON is a celebration of all the forward-thinking individuals and organizations in the Miami Valley doing good work to help further Sustainability, Conservation, and Environmental Justice efforts. The City of Dayton Office of Sustainability and Five Rivers MetroParks began leading this initiative in 2023 to illustrate how to get involved in events, programs, and volunteerism during, and around, Earth Month.

The Earth DayTON kickoff mini expo serves as a starting place for Earth Month and provides an opportunity to connect with many local partners in the environmental space. This year’s event will be held at Five Rivers MetroParks’ 2nd Street Market on Sunday, April 6. Drive Electric Dayton will host an EV ride and drive outside the market pavilion, Seven Seed Sowers will host a seed exchange at the community booth, and other partners will have tables and activities inside the pavilion space and be available for conversation. Earth DayTON events help promote the specific things happening in the Miami Valley for the Earth Month season and emphasize the notion that we are “stronger together”.
