World Earth Day on 22 April, established in 1970 by the United Nations, is the largest environmental event celebrating planet Earth and promoting its protection.
Every year, Earth Day involves up to a billion people in 192 countries and over 20,000 organisations worldwide.
Earth Day Italia, the main Italian partner of the Earth Day Network, was founded in 2007 with the aim of strengthening Earth Day and its goals across the country, encouraging projects and initiatives for the planet and promoting a new environmental awareness.
Earth Day has become an important occasion and a significant tool for raising awareness of environmental issues.
The first edition of Earth Day Cefalù, held in 2013 over three days, stood out among the 5 events of April 2013 that help the world, and was thus recognised as a nationwide environmental event alongside major cities such as Rome, Palermo, Bergamo and Bari, with a feature in the monthly magazine Natural Style published by Cairo Editore.
Earth Day Cefalù, which this year reaches its 11th edition, has been conceived and coordinated since its debut in 2013 by architect Salva Francesca Mancinelli, currently Councillor for Environmental Policies of the Municipality of Cefalù, and aims to promote the town’s tourist image while offering initiatives that raise awareness of environmental issues.
This year, from 22 to 27 April, the Festival offers six intense days of events and the active participation of everyone, young and old.
