Free! There’s no charge for admission so bring your friends and family!
Green Festival
Planet Earth Celebration is a green festival. Our exhibitors have signed a Green Pledge with a commitment to minimize waste through recycling and composting, favor environmentally sensitive materials for everything they bring from organic textiles to recycled and certified paper to compostable plates and utensils to offsetting their energy use. Please pitch in.
Water
Drinking water is available at the Festival. Please avoid bringing or buying bottled water. Water bottles in the U.S. are overflowing our landfills, require the equivalent of over 17 million barrels of oil (enough to fuel more than 1 million vehicles a year) produce more than 2.5 millions tons of carbon dioxide, and use more than 3 times the amount of water in the bottle to produce. Bring your own bottle, or enjoy our compostable cups. Thanks.
