Ode to Earth is a performing-arts showcase of our connection to our planet. 350 Sacramento, Sacramento's climate action non-profit, has hosted this event since 2016. Ode to Earth offers our community several benefits:

1) A way for artists to contribute to climate activism

2) Community-building

3) Communicating, sharing, and healing feelings around climate change through artistic expression

Past performers have included: musicians, poets, comedians, dancers, aerialists, acrobats, multi-ethnic music and dance groups, and multi­ media artists. We envision this community event to be our biggest event yet. We expect it to be a healing balm to the troubled times we are in, and an outlet for our feelings about the climate crisis affecting all of us. Furthermore, we hope the event will galvanize the community to take collective action to ensure a livable future for our young people.

Any profits from the event will be used to further the work that 350 Sacramento does in the Sacramento region to implement equitable solutions that accelerate the transition to a sustainable future, with atmospheric carbon dioxide levels below 350 Parts per Million (ppm). This includes monitoring and commenting on local Climate Action Plans, representing the people on panels such as the Mayor's Climate Commission, facilitating youth training programs, managing air filter projects, advocating and contributing to the passage of legislation, and other activities that accelerate our transition to a sustainable equitable future.
