The mission of the Elkhart Environmental Center is to preserve, protect, and restore the environment, as well as promote environmental responsibility to the public through education, habitat enhancement, community services, and outreach.

EnviroFest is the Elkhart Environmental Center’s biggest event of the year. It has grown over the past 25 years to become the region’s largest environmental festival. EnviroFest celebrates and provides further education on environmental and sustainable topics through booths, local food vendors and beer and wine garden, educational speakers, kids activities, a raffle and silent auctions, and more! EnviroFest strives to connect the community to the environment in a fun atmosphere and to celebrate organizations and businesses that are helping to make a difference.
