Check out all upcoming CEC events, from workshops to festival, on our event calendar.

Earth Day

The Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival has been held in Santa Barbara since 1970. Today, CEC hosts this two-day event at Alameda Park where more than 30,000 people attend. Earth Day is an inspiring extravaganza that includes more than 250 green vendors, a Green Car Show, fun for kids, a film festival, and an eco-marketplace. Check out CEC’s Earth Day Festival website.

Solar SUNday

Solar SUNday is a free community event offering opportunities to learn about energy efficiency, conservation, and solar energy. CEC hosts this event every July at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

Green Gala

CEC’s annual Green Gala is the eco-chic party of the year, hosted with Merryl Brown Events. Our 2011 Green Gala (with a Gypsy Caravan theme) will be held in October.

Carrot Mobs

From time to time CEC organizes a “reverse boycott” or Carrot Mob of a local business on a specific date. The business then dedicates 100% of additional sales that day to making its store more energy efficient.
