EarthFair 2015, possibly the largest environmental fair in the world, returns to Balboa Park Sunday with 60,000 expected to attend.

The 26th annual event will include more than 300 booths manned by environmental groups, politicians and sellers of green consumer goods; a children’s parade at 10:30 a.m.; vegetarian and vegan cuisine; displays of clean-energy vehicles and live entertainment on five stages throughout the park.

The event coincides with Earth Day, which was celebrated worldwide on Saturday.

Attendees are encouraged to take public transportation.

Those who drive are encouraged to park off-site at San Diego City College or Petco Park and ride a shuttle, since Balboa Park lots usually fill quickly.
