The Future is Local: 2026 Aspen Earth Day Community Event

Wednesday, April 22 | Wheeler Opera House |  Free

Community Action Fair | 3-5pm

Lecture | 6-7:30pm

Celebrate Earth Day in Aspen with a community-wide gathering focused on environmental stewardship, climate action, and civic engagement.

Join us for an afternoon Community Action Fair featuring local environmental organizations and local farms, followed by a free evening lecture at the Wheeler Opera House exploring the intersection of environment, politics, and community resilience.

The lecture will include storytelling, data-driven insights, and comedic relief as we explore the vital link between political decision-making and environmental survival. From the state and national level to the Roaring Fork Valley, we are diving deep into how policy shapes our climate, our land-use, and the very resilience of mountain communities like Aspen. An inspiring, hopeful look at how local voices and decisions shape the future of the places we love.
