Mark your calendars for the 2026 EarthFest Expo on Saturday, May 2 from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Saint Mary’s University–Rochester at Cascade Meadow Wetlands and Environmental Science Center, located at 2900 19th Street NW in Rochester.

EarthFest Expo is Rochester’s premier sustainability celebration bringing together community members, local organizations, and environmental leaders for a high-energy day of learning, connection, and action. Explore engaging exhibits, hands-on workshops, interactive activities, and inspiring conversations designed to help build a greener future for Rochester.

Back by popular demand, the Olmsted County Fix-It Clinic returns after drawing strong attendance last year. Bring broken household items and get expert help repairing them, saving money and keeping materials out of the landfill.

New this year: a Reuse Marketplace featuring local thrift stores and reuse businesses, giving attendees the chance to shop secondhand, discover sustainable products, and support local circular economy leaders, all in one place.

Whether you’re just getting started or already passionate about sustainability, EarthFest Expo offers something for everyone. Come ready to learn, connect, and leave inspired.
