Green Mountain Energy Earth Day at Discovery Green

Our Power, Our Planet ™

Saturday, April 25, 2026

12 – 5 pm

FREE!

This April you can power the Earth Day procession at Discovery Green! Houston’s downtown celebration features community artists and projects including a Magpies and Peacocks fashion show, University of Houston, Downtown art installation, Houston recycled goods artist Glee Ryan and a community art project by puppet-maker Dennis McNett of Wolfbat.  

Other community partners include Citizens’ Environmental Coalition and Houston Public Works.  

In the weeks leading up to Earth Day, Discovery Green visitors are invited to participate in mask-making workshops inspiring them to creatively interpret the theme of Our Power, Our Planet. Using recycled materials, these masks will represent endangered animals, plants, ecosystems, natural elements or symbolic representations of the Earth. During the celebration on April 25, participants will wear their masks to join in on a public procession accompanied by 12-foot-tall puppets as part of Reclamation of the Earth created by Wolfbat.  

By coming together to create art together the community becomes the fuel for the procession. We are the power that can protect our planet.  

This will be a zero-waste event. Please plan on bringing your own refillable water bottles and utensils.

Exhibitors will be asked to ensure waste is minimized by only providing reusable or compostable items

The Jones Lawn is the largest green space at Discovery Green®, and therefore offers panoramic views of the Park and unobstructed views of the downtown skyline. The Lawn is an exceptional manicured space that can accommodate almost any large gathering. It is the site of major events such as Discovery Green’s festivals or pick-up sports. The Convention District Garage lies directly below the Jones Lawn.
