Ecological City features a spectacular procession of visual art, giant puppets, costumes and 21 site performances celebrating climate solution initiatives throughout the community gardens, neighborhood and East River Park waterfront of the Lower East Side.
Earth Celebrations' Ecological City: Cultural & Climate Solutions Action Project applies the arts to build community, diverse sector collaboration and action on climate solution and ecological sustainability initiatives throughout the community gardens, neighborhood and waterfront on the Lower East Side of New York City.
Through cultural strategies Ecological City reconnects people to each other and the natural world within their neighborhood and builds emotional connection, engagement and action on climate solutions, an urban sustainable ecosystem and the importance of local efforts to city and global climate challenges.
Gardeners, artists, residents, youth and over 50 community partner organizations collaborate through 5 months of creative engagement workshops developing visual art and performances exploring local sustainability sites and their climate solutions. Visual art and performance projects are presented in the culminating Ecological City: Procession for Climate Solutions on Saturday May 10, 2025 featuring visual art, giant puppets, costumes and with 21 sustainability site performances affirming a shared vision for a sustainable future.

Description
Earth Celebrations was founded in 1991 on the Lower East Side of New York City, to apply the arts to mobilize action on environmental issues impacting the neighborhood. The organization grew out of its Save Our Gardens project, that applied innovative cultural strategies to build a coalition effort to preserve the magnificent network of community gardens, threatened with destruction by proposed development plans. For 30 years we have applied the arts to build community, collaboration and action on climate change, water quality, river restoration, waste management, and the preservation of species, habitats, nature, gardens, parks, and a healthy urban environment. Our innovative cultural and environmental action projects provide a vital creative and collaborative platform for residents, artists, and organizations to address and amplify issues, and develop solutions to environmental and climate challenges. Earth Celebrations builds broad-based coalitions and diverse sector partnerships with local organizations, academic institutions, government agencies, schools and community residents, to work together to achieve common goals and ecological, policy and social change.
