About the Festival
The Fourth Earth and Arts Festival is part of a series of Earth Day celebrations across central Pennsylvania that began on Wednesday. Founder Drew Lawrence emphasizes that climate action starts locally: “The environment is something I have always cared about, and turning my attention to what I can do in my immediate neighborhood… is sort of what drives us.”
