Wake Up the Earth Festival @ Southwest Corridor 2024

Saturday, May 4, 2024 11:00 AM 6:00 PM

The Wake Up the Earth Festival began in 1979 when a group of local neighbors and activists banded together to stop the Interstate 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, sideshows, live bands, dancers, acoustic performers, and a giant pageant.
