Earth Day at the J

Join about 6,000 people for environmentally friendly, hands-on activities, music and more at the JCC Indianapolis for the 8th Annual Earth Day at the J co-sponsored by Indianapolis Power & Light Company and Citizens Energy Group.

More than 65 organizations offer demonstrations and activities for all ages in the Kids Zone. Great music and entertainment on the J Stage sponsored by WTTS, a Farmers Market presented by Market Wagon and food trucks make this one of the best events in the spring for the entire family!

Earth Day at the J attracts a wide range of attendees, from those who seek out green products and services regularly to those who are just learning about them. Earth Day at the J shines a spotlight on companies who put sustainability front and center.
