Upcoming, Ongoing and past SHP projects

Our annual Sustainable Highland Park Earth Day Fair will once again be part of the Spring Fling Street Fair. As in previous years, we will be located on N. 3rd Ave off of Raritan Ave, creating a Safe Earth Zone within the Street Fair where we will be educating, engaging, and inspiring our community to take action to create a just, healthy, and sustainable world.

We are living in extraordinary and troubling times, and this year’s event theme is activism, resilience, and building community. Learn from dozens of local organizations about how they’re building activism and resilience into their work – and how you can make a difference.
