WorldBeat Center’s annual Earth Day festival!

Aztec Dance by Danza Colibri at Balboa Park’s WorldBeat Cultural Center during Global Earth Day.

Enjoy this collection of photographs taken as the WorldBeat Cultural Center’s 34th Annual Global Earth Day Festival got underway in Balboa Park!

Organizations and businesses who support the environment were lined up behind the center, while vendor canopies and diverse cultural entertainment took place on the open grass nearby. Inside the WorldBeat Cultural Center there was more life to experience, including the rhythms of San Diego Taiko that I enjoyed. Visitors could also walk through the center’s lush Ethnobotany Sanctuary Garden. (I’ll be blogging about the garden later.)

There was plenty to see and do!

Behind the WorldBeat Cultural Center’s building, several canopies were set up for Earth Day. This is where visitors could enjoy most of the environmental activities and education.
The San Diego Bird Alliance was showing how to mix clay and seeds to make seed balls that melt in the rain.
Local native seed libraries can be found all around San Diego County.
The San Diego Beekeeping Society was present with a contained hive for the purposes of demonstration. They are working to save bees.
People visiting the Global Earth Day Festival could pot a plant!
There were opportunities for swapping seeds, purchasing plants and composting!
Books celebrating diversity could be found here. Sitting at the table is author JohnnieRenee Nelson!
Books promote positive values of African American families.
Lots of smiles at the KNSJ community radio station tent!
Inside the WorldBeat Cultural Center people listen to a performance by San Diego Taiko.
