The Sixth Festival, Chicago, is a climate festival holding its inaugural 2021 run from April 22 to May 2!
Curated primarily by a group of concerned artists, the festival is a manifestation of collective action, a counteroffensive intended to illuminate issues and concerns surrounding the ongoing climate crisis. The festival's fundamental goal is to bring people together through a wide variety of events -- artistic, educational, participatory, and so forth -- designed to inform, uplift, and inspire inhabitants of this world to take action. Together, we can multiply our collective power and prevent the sixth mass extinction on our planet.
For a two-week span, The Sixth Festival, Chicago, will be hosting 25 events that are absolutely free to the general public, including but not limited to: (1) a poetry slam hosted by Marc Smith, founder of the poetry slam movement, (2) a Zoom presentation and discussion with representatives from the Illinois Chapter of the Sierra Club, and (3) a screening of the documentary The Great Green Wall, which explores the African Union's initiative to combat desertification across the continent.
To register for any one of our free events, please visit the calendar on our website: thesixthfest.org/events. All other useful links, such as our social media pages (Instagram: @thesixthfestival, Facebook: @thesixthfest.org) can be located at https://linktr.ee/thesixthfestival.
