2023 Monadnock Region Earth Festival

April 22 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The annual Monadnock Region Earth Day Celebration celebrates some of the many things that make this region special: a commitment to ever-greater sustainability, healthy communities for all, and preserving and sustaining our planet, which is increasingly threatened by the impacts of climate change.

Join us to learn about what others are doing and making, buy delicious whole food, learn something new, enjoy performers and activities throughout the Co-op, Railroad Square, the bike path & amphitheater (behind the co-op) and maybe make a friend or two. Join others in our community to celebrate all the things we are doing well and renew our commitment to keep striving ever onward. Reach out to Megan at marketing@monadnockfood.coop with any questions. Stay tuned for more event details!

Drive Electric Expo!

At Earth Fest Join the Monadnock Sustainability Hub in the Whitney Bros. parking area at 93 Railroad Street and learn what Electric Vehicles (EVs) look and drive like, what their owners think and how they manage charging. Come on down to the Drive Electric Expo in Keene on April 22nd from Noon till 4pm, when and where the Monadnock Food Co-op is hosting its annual Earth Day festivities, with many food vendors, local “green” businesses, and live music! At our Drive E, there will be a free raffle where prizes include a free dinner for 2 at the Chesterfield Inn (fancy!), and a gift certificate to the Toadstool Bookshop! Local dealers will be on-site showcasing their EVs, along with private owners with theirs. Every half hour there will be a mini-talk on topics such as home charging, charging on the road, and funding incentives.
