Learn, connect and help the park at the Earth Day Celebration from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at the lagoon in McKinley Park, 2210 W. Pershing Road, Chicago.

Presented by Chicago Asian-Americans for Environmental Justice, Neighbors for Environmental Justice and Marimocha Monarca Press, the event offers opportunity to add plants to McKinley Park's natural area alongside the McKinley Park Advisory Council; take home a free plant; create art, origami and Chinese knots, and connect with a "treekeeper" from Openlands.
