It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated glob- ally by the Earth Day Network, and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year. Let’s see how it’s done Orlando-style! It’s called Earthday Birthday and it is a signature event sponsored by radio station 101.1 FM WJRR; this was the 21st annual. It was held on April 12th at Central Florida Fairgrounds, and whoever had time and wheels was head- ing that way. Earthday Birthday is more than your average music festival with vendor village.

The new location at The Central Florida Fairgrounds was a much more suitable spot than Tinker Field last year. There was plenty of outdoor space that included a larger midway with rides and activities, vendors, art, merchan- dise and food. You could ride a zipline, get a birds eye view What stood out was the casual attitude of the perform- on the ferris wheel, or even circle the festival in a short ers, including some famous names, as they mingled with the helicopter ride. It was people-watching at its finest with crowd. I met and got my photo taken with band members spray painted bodies, some half-nude, girls on stilts, and from Otherwise. Festival headliner was Alter Bridge (for- a bearded. pot bellied man dressed in a tutu posing as the merly Creed) along with a variety of other bands from all tooth fairy. It’s certainly not the ideal environment for the different music genre, like Cypress Hill, Everclear, All That judgmental type, and it took some parental tolerance to see Remains, Filter, Nonpoint, Alien Ant Farm, Fuel, Soil and the adolescents (including my adolescent) checking out the many more bands - all of which we thoroughly enjoyed.
