Fayette County Earth Month Celebrations

April 1-30 throughout Fayette County

Join us for a county-wide Earth Day celebration, celebrating all month long. There will be an Earth Day photo scavenger hunt with photo-op stops in communities spread across the county through the month of April. Take a picture with each Earth Day photo prop and tag your adventures with #EarthFayette23 for a chance to win awesome prizes! In addition to the county-wide scavenger hunt, there will be fun ways to celebrate Earth Day throughout the month of April with activities and clean-ups throughout Fayette County. Stay tuned for scavenger hunt locations.

We would love to see all Fayette County communities participate! All you need is a DIY photo op to participate. Photo ops should be outside so they can be accessed outside of business hours. You can participate as a business, community or organization. Please fill out the form so we can include your location on our checklist.
