Planet Earth Celebration began in 2008, when the Museum of Natural Sciences, Burt’s Bees and the City of Raleigh worked together to present an event to celebrate the meaningful efforts and many resources for sustainable living available to all of us right here in the Triangle community. We found wonderful partners offering goods and services, education and motivation, as well as some 15,000 festival-goers who came together to help make for a fun-filled festival that respects, educates and entertains.
