EcoFest: Earth Day Celebration in Pacifica, CA

Pacific Beach Coalition's annual Earth Day EcoFest is a free, family-friendly outdoor community event. Starting off the day at 9am across more than 15 site locations for cleanup and habitat restoration events across San Mateo County, the fun continues from 10:30am - 1:30pm with our main festival event at Pacifica State Beach in Linda Mar.

The festival is co-sponsored by the City of Pacifica and will include more than 30 booths and activities with partners ranging from Recology of the Coast, North Coast County Water District, Peninsula Clean Energy, San Mateo County Parks Foundation and The Marine Mammal Center, in addition to City and County partners, local community-based organizations, schools, scientists, artists and advocates. With fun activities planned, including a Marine Robotics team, we expect that EcoFest will be an engaging, inspiring opportunity to celebrate Earth Month, Climate Week, the beauty of nature and our need to become better watershed stewards.

This year's honoree, steelhead trout, provides a welcome reminder of how our unique coastal environment supports an incredibly resilient ecosystem, with a surviving population of these remarkable fish continuing to spawn, swim, and survive in San Pedro Creek. Visitors will be encouraged to take a Naturalist tour hosted by Linda Mar Water Quality Coalition and learn more, while we also present our educational programming shared throughout the year at school assemblies, workshops, and in the classroom with our teacher toolkits.
