Newton held its third annual Earth Day Festival on Sunday at Newton North High School.
There were games, climate change informational displays, a petting zoo, electric vehicles, a duo dressed as a chicken and a cow—the event certainly didn’t lack for variety—all brought together to draw attention to the planet and ways to heal it.
Check out these photos and videos from the event, which drew some pretty big crowds despite the chill in the air and threatening clouds looming overhead.
