Earth Gathering

Earth Gathering is a juried art festival with an Earth Day theme hosted by the Chillicothe Art League. This event was designed to entertain, educate and inspire the public about nature, creativity and sustainability through earth-friendly art, music, food, products and ideas. Each year, Ross County Litter Control & the RPHF SWD occupy a booth. Catch us at Earth gathering on April 15, 2023 at Yoctangee Park.
