Wake Up the Earth Festival

The Wake Up the Earth Festival began in 1979 when a group of local neighbors and activist banded together to stop the I-95 expansion into Jamaica Plain. The festival began as, and still is, a celebration of what can be accomplished when people of all traditions, cultures, ages, and beliefs come together. A great many individuals, local artists, community groups, and schools join forces every year to make a unique community collaboration. Recent festivals have included an enchanted puppet forest, side shows, live bands, dancers, acoustic performers and a giant pageant.

The 30th Annual Wake Up The Earth Festival will take place on Saturday, May 3rd (raindate Saturday, May 10th) at The Southwest Corridor park adjacent to The Stonybrook T Stop.
