Visitors
Earth Fair always occurs the last weekend in April each year and is held in conjunction with the Blue Water Conservation District's annual tree sale. We are grateful for the successful partnership with St. Clair County Parks and Recreation Department for the use of beautiful Goodells County Park. We have designed Earth Fair with children and families in mind. Stop by anytime during the weekend and stay for an hour, or three! Don’t forget some spending cash; there are lots of products to buy ranging from $1 - $50. In fact, Earth Fair can be a significant source of funding for many of the smaller businesses, farms and non-profits. If you want to purchase gifts, you can be assured your money is staying local and supporting a good cause. Also be sure to bring your camera to capture all the entertaining moments you’ll be sure to experience.

Is Earth Fair right for you? To be an exhibitor, you must have a message, cause, product or service that specifically addresses the environment. The intent of our event is education and inspiration: a visitor to your booth should be exposed to new resources and ideas that help them become a better, informed citizen of our earth. If you are a new exhibitor considering participation please contact us first to find out if you are a fit for our event. Each new exhibitor must go through a pre-screening process by our committee.
At Earth Fair, we walk the walk, not just talk the talk! We are all about using earth friendly alternatives whenever possible; this includes products made from renewable resources (plants, not oil) and recycled material. All exhibitors should take every effort to use these types of materials at their booth. Michigan Green Safe Products is a Michigan-based company whose earth-friendly products are made from renewable resources allowing them to be 100% biodegradable. The Earth Fair Hospitality Area uses MI Green Safe Products exclusively. Gordon Food Service also offers environmentally-friendly options. Styrofoam is strictly prohibited. In order to align with our low-waste goals, exhibitors are expected to recycle compost or carry-in, carry-out as much waste as possible. Please let us know how we can help you!
