With a "small footprint, large impact" ethos for 4/20, Earth Day Network and Green Apple Festival hosted the first festival in 2006 in New York City. Since then the event has galvanized music fans, environmentalists, progressive consumers and families in a growing number of cities on Earth Day by providing "something for everyone" events with music performances, family entertainment and interactive exhibits at public locations. In 2007, capacity crowds attended Green Apple events in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, setting a one-day attendance record at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, IL, with over 40,000 people present. Lending weight to the Festival's endeavors is their partnership with Earth Day Network - the non-profit organization founded by the creators of the first Earth Day in 1970. Produced by Earth Day Network and Green Apple Festival, and presented by Chase, these all-inclusive, interactive and free public events will occur in eight major cities: Chicago IL (Lincoln Park Zoo), New York City (Central Park), Miami FL (Bicentennial Park), Denver CO (City Park), Dallas TX (Fair Park), San Francisco CA (Golden Gate Park) and Los Angeles CA (Santa Monica Pier). The flagship event will be Earth Day 2008 on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The talent round up for all eight cities, listed below, represents a wide array of musical styles, offering something for everyone from the reggae rocker to the tune-loving toddler.
