You and the family are invited to the White Violet Center for Eco-Justice and Sisters of Providence annual Earth Day Festival at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods! Immerse yourself in nature at our beautiful Woods while enjoying many different activities. There’s something for everyone from nature shows and earth-related craft activities for the kids, to spinning, weaving and felting demonstrations and visits with the alpacas that provide the fiber.

Be sure to bring your refillable water bottles for our free and eco-friendly water station. Our Providence Community will be hosting their popular bake sale with homemade baked goods of all kinds!

The festival begins at 11 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m. Saint Mary-of-the-Woods is located 10 minutes northwest of downtown Terre Haute, Indiana.

We will have entertainment like live music, wildlife presentations, woodcarving demonstrations and demonstrations on spinning and weaving. Food vendors will be available to purchase snacks, beverages, and meals – there will be something for all ages and dietary needs. We will also have vendors and educational exhibitors on hand for earth-friendly shopping and to expand your knowledge of how we can be better stewards of our planet.

Vendors, exhibitors and entertainment will be announced soon!
