Celebrate with us.

The Earth Day Clean-up Festival will be the first event in an ongoing collaboration with Propelled Animals. This first event was conceived by Esther Baker-Tarpaga, and will feature new performances by her and other artists living and working in occupied Lenapehoking.  

The festival is an all-ages event that will take place on the Delaware River Trail, next to the entrance to Washington Avenue Green.

The festival will open with a storytelling performance from artist, musician, and folklorist Tchin, followed by a dance performance and procession by artists Esther Baker-Tarpaga and Crux. After the performances, audiences will be provided with supplies and guided down the trail by performers and staff to participate in a trash pick-up along the trail and the banks of the river. Guests will also be invited to enjoy refreshments, participate in a kite-making workshop hosted by Fleisher Art Memorial, use chalk to decorate the Delaware River Trail, learn more about how to support environmental justice organizations working in the region at informational tables, and engage in a moment of self-care through a complimentary massage at the wellness station.
