2. Earth Day Festival -  A Plastic-Free and Sustainability Music Festival in Springfield, Missouri

Springfield’s Earth Day Music and Sustainability Festival is our yearly music festival held on the Saturday closest to Earth Day. It’s a one-day, ticketed, plastic-free, music and sustainability festival that raises funds to help support our local environmental organizations.

Every year, we feature live musical acts from prominent local and regional bands, with top-notch production and stages. In addition to music, we invite our sponsors and other local businesses, who want to make an impact on the environmental movement, out to set up booths, where helpful information is shared, and sustainably-made goods are sold. They were able to raise $18,000 in 2022 for their beneficiaries! Purchase tickets HERE. Watch 2022 recap video HERE.

4.  Earth Day Cleanup with 4 By 4 Brewing Company!

Join our earth-loving employee Paige on an Earth Day cleanup with 4 By 4 to celebrate this beautiful planet. Because we now have two locations, we now serve two communities. So, of course, we're cleaning up at two different parks, one close to each location. We'll provide bags and gloves and in return for turning in a bag of trash at 4 By 4 after meeting up at the park, you'll get a coupon for $3 off your first pour!
Our first cleanup is at Sequiota Park near our Galloway Location. Cleanup starts at 12pm! We'll meet at the pavilion between the two play areas. Our second cleanup is at Springfield Lake near our Fremont Hills Location. Cleanup starts at 3pm! We'll meet at the boathouse at the end of the road! We can't wait to serve our communities and then serve you a discounted delicious brew to thank you for helping make our community, and earth, a bit more beautiful! Event is FREE for all ages.
