Held from April 20 to 23 at Fair Park, Earth Day Texas is the world’s largest eco-conference and exhibition and this year it will include EARTHxFilm. This unique film festival showcases films and other media that explore conservation, climate change and the environment. Highlights include the Eco-Children/Teen workshops and competition and virtual reality exhibits. A new EARTHACK, hack-a-thon, event harnesses thousands of the world’s greatest young minds working to find innovative solutions to environmental issues against a 36-hour ticking clock.

Back by popular demand, Tiny Houses will be seen at more locations and in greater numbers, along with the Earth Day Texas signature Green Speaker Series, including pertinent discussions between engineers, academics, scientists, authors, politicians and environmentalists.
