Earth Day Parade Workshops

The Environmental Center is hosting mask making and drumming workshops in preparation for the upcoming Earth Day Parade on Saturday, April 23rd. Artist Debra Fisher will lead mask making workshops at The Environmental Center on April 6th and 20th from 2:00 – 5:00pm and on April 16th
from 12:00 – 4:00pm. There is a $5-$10 sliding scale fee for materials and instruction. People of all ages are invited to create their own personalized masks to wear with their costume at the Parade.

Drummer Brennan Morrow will lead two drumming workshops at The Environmental Center on April 8th and 18th from 5:00-8:00pm to fine tune this year’s parade beat. All ages and skill levels are encouraged to participate!

The 12th annual Earth Day Parade will once again kick off the Earth Day Fair with children and adults dressed in a costume of their favorite species or representation of the natural world. There are three parade rules: no written words, no motorized vehicles and no live pets.

The parade will be held in downtown Bend with staging at 10:30am on Louisiana Avenue next to McMenamins. The parade will begin at 11:00am, winding through downtown Bend and ending at the Earth Day Fair on Kansas Avenue in front of The Environmental Center in downtown Bend. This is a free event.
