Celebrate Earth Day with music, food, games and guest speakers

Roving magicians, roving minstrels, rockin’ musicians and more will help celebrate Boise State University’s Earth Day Spring Fling from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at Julia Davis Park.

On the main stage will be local bands The Clumsy Lovers, Marcus Eaton and the Lobby, Farmdog, John Nemeth and the Three Jacks and 54 Vision, a New York band that fuses flamenco, reggae and hip-hop. An acoustic stage will feature solo, duo and dance troupes from artists such as Andy Porter, Larry Clark, Gayle Chapman and more.

Four guest speakers will talk about issues ranging from nuclear waste in Idaho to harnessing solar energy. A “Kid’s Korner” will provide activities for children and adults such as sumo wrestling, face and body art, a Jurassic obstacle course, wax hand art, mask-making and inflatable games. Over 60 retail, information and food booths will provide exhibitions, demonstrations, T-shirts, artwork and more.
