Every LEAF Day is Earth Day
Join us for Earth Day 2026!
On Saturday, April 18th, we invite you to celebrate Earth Day with us at the Fremont Downtown Event Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. LEAF is one of the co-organizers of Fremont’s Annual Earth Day Fair, alongside the City of Fremont and Washington Health.
This year, we’ll have 20 booths showcasing our work and many of our collaborators and partners. We’ll once again bring our humming honey bees and wriggly worms, and highlight sustainable living by reducing waste through recycling and reuse and by using regenerative agricultural practices in your garden. We’ll have lots of fun activities for kids, including our art circle, a magician, and more.
Earthday.org's theme for 2026 is 'Our Power, Our Planet.™' Environmental progress is built through everyday action—from communities protecting ecosystems to innovators advancing solutions. For Earth Day 2026, we’re mobilizing at scale. Every action counts. Every voice matters. Come join us!
Like in previous years, we’re partnering with youth groups to offer specialist recycling drop-offs. Start collecting school supplies, socks, and bras from friends, students, family, and community and bring what you gathered to LEAF Earth Day.
1) STAPLES Recycling Services Program -> School supplies: crayons, pens, pencils and colored pencils, markers, highlighters, rulers and drafting tools
2) SMARTWOOL Second Cut Program-> Clean socks, all brands, colors, sizes, and materials welcome (merino preferred). Single socks only. Do not roll or pair socks.
3) The Bra Recyclers-> Recycle your new or gently used clean regular bras, sports bras, and nursing bras
