Green Efforts

Here are some ways we are using Green Efforts to keep our festival sustainable:

We encourage everyone to bring your own water bottle as we have water filling stations around the park!
Printing amounts have been tremendously reduced.
- Our event programs are now much smaller and we offer a virtual option
- We really stay conscious of how much we really need to print, referring to previous years
- Taking advantage of social media/our website and sending information electronically reduces paper consumption
We stopped using latex balloons in 2019. We will continue this effort. Balloons are fun but unfortunately cannot be recycled and are not bio-degradable. This means they will be on Earth for a very, VERY long time and can potentially be dangerous to wildlife and the environment in general.
We promote upcycling as much as possible. In past years we have used recycled materials to create sculptures, hold creative chair auctions, and much more. We also use recycled materials in the youth tent as much as possible.
We offer recycling in the park during the festival. Recycling can be tricky because many individuals do not know what can be recycled and what cannot but we are working on proper signage to make this process more clear! This year, efforts may be taken even further as composting may be a possibility.
The committee re-uses as many event materials as possible each year including signage, decor, etc.
We keep LOCAL! Purchasing local keeps dollars in our community and creates much less of a carbon footprint by reducing transportation. We also partner with and promote our local businesses as much as possible!
Many of our artists are also eco-minded and we completely support their positive efforts!
We are bringing in the new “Green Award” in 2021! The artist with the most eco-conscious practices will be granted this money award.
