Earth Gathering is a juried art festival with an Earth Day theme, held annually on the lawn of the Pump House Center for the Arts in Yoctangee Park (historic downtown Chillicothe). 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. Quality, affordable handmade art and great music (from local and regional artists) highlight this eight-hour festival. It all follows the annual “Scioto Waterway Cleanup” starting in the annex at 10am. This is a kid-friendly event. EG invites artists and organizations from within a 100-mile radius of Chillicothe.
