Join Slow Food Denver for a fun, hands-on Earth Day celebration! We’re bringing the community together at the Edgewater Public Market to explore the joys of local food, sustainable gardening, and mindful living.

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a curious eater, this event offers something for everyone. Learn about our signature Seed to Plate youth programming, meet local sustainability leaders & businesses, and discover practical ways to care for our planet right here in Denver.

Shop & Eat for a Cause:

While you're enjoying the festivities, be sure to visit Gladys and Bibamba within the market. Both businesses are hosting a "give back" day during the event – meaning a portion of your purchase goes directly toward supporting Slow Food Denver’s mission-based programming!

Come celebrate, learn, and grow with us. We can’t wait to see you there!
