Celebrate Earth Day on the Promenade on Saturday

Earth Day isn't until April 22, but Santa Monica will be celebrating it 10 days early with the annual Earth Day on the Promenade.

The popular outdoor festival will feature booths and exhibits all the way down Third Street Promenade. Visitors can get some green shopping done, enjoy live performances, and learn about the enviro-focused organizations and initiatives in the L.A. area.

When: Saturday, April 12, 10 a.m. - 7 p.m.
Where: Third Street Promenade, between Broadway and Wilshire, Santa Monica
Cost: Free!

Assuming the weather's nice, the street'll likely be packed; the pictures are from last year's event. Lots more events are happening leading up to Earth Day; find out what's near you via this calendar.

And don't forget to enjoy a free Michael Franti concert on Earth Day itself by heading over -- on bike or bus! -- to the Wilshire Center Earth Day celebration.
