In celebration of the 8th Annual California Clean Air Day, the Air District is partnering with local organizations to bring clean technology directly to the community through a home electrification fair on October 7.
The free event will allow residents to explore electric vehicles, home appliances, lawn and garden equipment, and other technologies that can help reduce emissions while creating healthier, more energy-efficient homes. Attendees can see technologies in action, talk with experts, and learn about electric alternatives that may work for their homes and everyday lives.
The Clean Air Day Fair will be held October 7 from 3–5 p.m. at Esther's Park in Oak Park. This event is a partnership between the Oak Park Black Film Festival, the Air District, California Climate Investments, Color the Block, the Electric Transportation Community Development Corp. (ET Community), Sac Clean Air, Sacramento Tree Foundation, SACOG, SMUD, St. HOPE, and Valley Vision.
The event is part of California Clean Air Day, an annual statewide effort originated by the Coalition for Clean Air that encourages individuals, businesses, and communities to take actions that support cleaner air. By connecting residents with practical information, resources, and cleaner technologies, the Air District and its partners are helping make clean-air choices more accessible while supporting healthier communities and regional climate goals.

Booths covered topics such as understanding the air quality index, air monitoring projects, exploring e-bikes and EVs, bike safety tips, building electrification, tree planting, and composting. The event also kicked off the Air District’s Clean Air pledge challenge and drawing for a brand-new e-scooter and accessories.

News Conference
The City of Sacramento in partnership with the Air District held a news conference at City Hall to celebrate Clean Air Day, highlight clean transportation, encourage residents to take the Clean Air pledge, and unveil a new story map highlighting an innovative community air monitoring project.
From February to April 2023, a specialized van equipped with sophisticated air monitoring equipment collected data across Sacramento neighborhoods to help reveal local air quality concerns. This effort enhances existing monitoring, deepens community education, and provides insights for partner agencies and local organizations. The partnership, made possible by a one-time investment from the Sacramento City Council, also distributed 200 portable air sensors and developed a new student curriculum that
fosters healthy communities through the study of clean air technology, policy,
and advocacy.
