Party for the Planet

Party for the Planet

In collaboration with Sustainable Walnut Creek, 350 Contra Costa and UU Ministry for the Earth, Mt. Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church (MDUUC) will host Party for the Planet -- a climate justice extravaganza at the MDUUC Event Center Saturday, June 10th at 7:30pm. (doors open at 6:30).

As part of its ‘Fossil Fools Tour’, the renowned Jim Ocean Band will treat the audience to a live performance of their new album, "FrankenClime" -- a humor-infused rock ‘n’ roll monster mash spotlighting the environmental challenges of the times.

In addition to the music, this lively action-packed event will include:

• A “trashy fashion” show, so wear your best homemade outfit sourced from recycled materials.

• An ‘Upcycle Booth:’ Bring something for the sustainability-in-action ‘Bring an item, take an item’ upcycle booth – a fun way to find a new home for a like-new, no-longer-needed household item or unwanted gift you’ve been holding onto.

• Sustainability booths, staffed by vendors with unique “sustainability products” for sale, and

• Inspiring messages from a variety of speakers on the front lines of the environmental/sustainability movement.

• Snacks and drinks: premium beer and wine will be available for sale, along with a sampling of yummy snacks and desserts for free.

Party for the Planet is an opportunity to come together, contribute meaningfully to the existential challenge of our times and enjoyably connect with like-minded people.
