This 10-year-old 'Party with a Purpose' is an exciting weekend experience for individuals, friends and families. Festivities at each Green Festival include presentations by more than 125 renowned authors, leaders and visionaries, informative how-to workshops, cutting-edge films, enriching kid's activities, organic beer and wine, delicious organic vegan and vegetarian cuisine, diverse live music and an amazing marketplace of more than 350 green local and national businesses and organizations. Shop in our unique marketplace filled with an abundance of eco-friendly businesses providing products and services, from home decor to eco-friendly fashion, nontoxic children's products to office supplies and much more.
