Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — More than 60 local organizations will participate in the third Earth Festival in Playa del Carmen, culminating in a human chain to defend the city’s last natural space, Chen Zubul.
Festival founder Daniela Jauregui announced that the volunteer-run event, focused on education, science, culture, art, and scientific research, will run from April 18 to 25. Activities will be streamed online through the festival’s digital pages, the Playa del Carmen Citizen Council for Science, Culture and Art, and the Jaguar Negro collective.
35 Green Points and International Collaborations
Jauregui said the festival will feature over 35 “Green Points” across the city where activities will take place. Attendees can access a Google Maps platform via QR code to view the schedule. The event includes approximately 20 international collaborations and serves as a platform for community expansion.
The festival’s motto is to reforest the city through culture and awareness. Jauregui noted that many Green Points had disappeared due to lack of funding, promotion, support, and connection between organizations, as well as crime and violence.
Human Chain for Chen Zubul
To close the festival, Jauregui called on residents to form a human chain on April 25 at 4:30 p.m. in peaceful defense of Chen Zubul, which she described as the last natural space within the city that belongs to Playa del Carmen and its inhabitants.
