DeKalb County Earth Fest
DeKalb County Earth Fest is a FREE, festive, family-friendly day of learning how decarbonizing our homes and towns can make us wealthier, healthier, and happier. Experts and community partners come from our region and beyond to introduce meaningful next steps in DeKalb County climate adaptation.
The first annual Earth Fest started conversations that ignited meaningful impact across the county. We return in 2025 to focus on energy and rewilding, with two questions in mind:
What can we do better? What can we do next?
