Earth Day Jam will be held on the weekend of April 17-19, 2015!
We are very excited about expanding EDJ into a three-day festival that will draw an even larger community of people to honor the Earth and enjoy a weekend of music, arts, education, and fellowship. This year’s event will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of The LandTrust for Central North Carolina. Susan Cloninger has generously donated the use of her facility, Dark Before Dawn Farm, a 16 acre horse facility on 7th Street Extension in Salisbury. This beautiful property has plenty of rolling pasture to accommodate music, camping, vendors, and field games for children.
Last year’s EDJ drew roughly 1,000 people to create a community with a common intention of respecting the Earth and natural resources. This year we will add weekend passes that will include music on Friday night and a Sunday Morning Acoustic Coffeehouse. Camping will be included in the weekend pass ticket.
Money raised will directly benefit the LandTrust, whose efforts have conserved 24,000 acres of farms, forests, lakes and streams, natural areas, open spaces, wildlife habitat and historic places in the piedmont of North Carolina. EDJ is also an educational event that offers the public an opportunity to meet experts in the areas of sustainable farming, local foods, wildlife, recycling, solar energy, bee keeping, medicinal herbs, nutrition, natural healing, and more. With over 40 vendor and educational booths, EDJ showcases the wares of many local artists and craftspeople. EDJ is very family friendly, with a variety of kids’ activities and field games that encourage active play in the outdoors. EDJ is a music lover’s paradise. Last year we hosted 16 bands that played on 2 stages, for a day of continuous music that covered a span of genres.
