San Diego EarthWorks invites individuals and organizations to exhibit their energy-efficient and alternative-fuel vehicles at the 31st EarthFair on Sunday, April 24, 2022 – the world’s largest free annual environmental fair and Earth Day celebration!

     Our dependence on the inefficient internal-combustion engine is a continuing threat to our environment and quality of life. With the concern over global warming and rising fuel prices, people are looking for ways that they can make better transportation choices. The Cleaner Car Concourse (CCC) is a great opportunity to share alternative eco-friendly transportation options with thousands of San Diegans.

Who May Participate?

We restrict the show to vehicles that use alternative fuels (e.g., solar, electric, bio-fuel or human muscle), or are highly energy-efficient (e.g., hybrids).

    The CCC is open to all individuals, groups, corporations, organizations, schools, etc.

• Those not involved in selling and that have no financial interest vehicle sales may participate in the Cleaner Car Concourse without paying a fee.
   
• Those who do have a financial interest in vehicle sales may show their vehicle for a fee of $1,000 per vehicle.

Where and When Does The Show Take Place?

    The CCC takes place at EarthFair 2022 on Sunday, April 24, 2022, from 10am - 5pm. Setup is from 8:00am to 9:00am. (The police will close the roads to vehicles promptly at 9:00am; they will remain closed until the end of the fair – so don't be late!)

    The CCC is located in the Pan American Plaza (Area 7) in Balboa Park, just south of the UN cottage area. (click here to see a map)

What is the Show Space Like?

    The CCC takes place in a parking lot. EarthWorks will provide tables and chairs; exhibitors should bring any additional display materials that they will need. Vehicles will be spaced to allow easy walk-around access and viewing. Please contact EarthWorks directly if you have any special or unusual setup or display requirements.

Is There Anything Else I Need to Know?

    San Diego EarthWorks reserves the right to decline any application. In particular, we limit the number of vehicles of a particular make/model; first come, first served.

    Just having a vehicle in the show is not enough – visitors will want to ask questions and know all about it. Please have your vehicle "staffed" at all times. We recommend having several people share this job so they don't get worn out during the day. Simple signs that detail the environmental benefits of the vehicle are a plus.

    The show is on a parking lot, which can be hot on a warm day. Bring a hat and sunscreen. And, it can be windy or chilly, so have a sweater or coat ready.
