Celebrate Earth Day the Cary Way!

Thank you to everyone who participated in Cary's Earth Day 2026. We look forward to celebrating in 2027 with you!

Visit Earth Day Lane at our Spring Daze Festival. Explore a variety of activities and take home tools and tips to help you go green. Register to win a compost bin or rain barrel, chat with recycling experts, get resources for proper tree care, pick up a greenway map, and more. Environmentalists of all ages will enjoy family friendly activities, a nature play area, and free make and take crafts.

Cary's commitment to sustainability is festival wide. Don’t miss our beautiful Festival Banner Tote Bags! These limited-edition totes are created from retired festival banners giving them a second life and allowing you to carry a piece of festival history. Together, we can make Cary Art Daze festivals that celebrate both art and our planet. Thank you for doing your part to keep our community beautiful!
