Join the JCC on the front lawn and parking lot of the Max and Mae Simon Jewish Community Campus for “Earth Day at the J” on Sunday, April 23, 2023, from 12-4 pm. Indiana Owned is hosting the marketplace, and would love for you to join us!

This free Earth Day festival is made possible by PNC with support from AES Indiana, Citizens Energy Group, and many others who share the common goal of protecting the earth and its resources. Participating organizations share the Earth Day belief that sustainability is the path to prosperity.

Last year’s highlights of the event (to be updated):

  • The AES electric car show featuring Motor. Get a first-hand glimpse at the Tesla Model 3 and Model X, Audi E-Tron and Chevy Bolt and see just how easy it is to start driving electric!
  • All your favorite earth-friendly organizations will be here with interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities centered around sustainability and going green.
  • Arts with a Purpose, presented by the J’s Early Childhood Education department, will have hands-on visual activities for children of all ages. Also featuring music from Cathy Morris in Celebration Plaza.
  • beer garden sponsored by Sun King and Ash & Elm Cider will be on hand, too with their two flagship ciders and two seasonal special ciders. Among the food trucks that will be on-site are NY Slice, Ritter’s Frozen Custard, Nicey Treat, Pierogi Love Indy, Pastabilitiez, Bearded Bagel, Java Brew Coffee and Pronto Taco.
  • The WTTS street team will provide musical entertainment.

Before COVID, more than 5,000 people of all backgrounds and faiths attended this events. 2022 had about 800 to 1,000 people in attendance. Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families and our livelihoods by investing in our planet. The event is FREE for patrons.

Please note that we ask that your four-legged family members wait for you at home while you attend this event; with children and lots of distracting activities, we want to ensure everyone’s safety, including dogs.
