Earth Day 2025 Parade

Making Earth Cool, Bark, and Sunnyside Environmental School present…Earth Day 2025! Join us at Sunnyside Schoolyard to visit local environmental organizations, mingle with your community, and get amped up for the parade. Then march with us throughout the neighborhood!

Volunteers needed!

We’re looking for volunteers to help bring giant puppets to life as we take to the streets in colorful, joyful action. No prior puppeteering experience needed—just a willingness to move, collaborate, and have fun!

Sign up now to be a puppeteer by emailing the organizers at makingearthcool@gmail.com or gabi@bark-out.org.
