The KRBE/Enron Earth Day Festival will take place on Saturday, April 1, 2000, 10am-7pm, at Buffalo Bayou Park, downtown. Over 40 CEC member organizations are preparing booths to educate the tens of thousands of Houstonians expected to attend the largest party yet for the planet.
Beneficiaries. Proceeds will benefit the CEC and the City of Houston’s Parks and Recreation Department.

Activities. Environmental groups will exhibit in the Earth Zone, which every visitor must pass through. Also featured will be an Extreme Zone, a Kids Zone, and craft booths. Bands galore will perform throughout the day.

Food and drink. Food and beverages, including limited vegetarian fare, will be available for purchase. Note: No outside food or drink will be allowed.

Tickets. In 1999, the event was so popular that many people were turned away at the gate. You may want to purchase advance festival tickets at the 104 KRBE studios, 9801 Westheimer, Suite 700. There is a $5 discount coupon available at participating Houston-area McDonalds. Admission is $15 for adults and free for children 10 or younger, if accompanied by a paying adult.
