Demonstrators
Throughout the Festival, you’ll find lots of exciting demonstrations of hands-on skills that you can put into action in your own home or neighborhood or through resources in our community.

Activities for All Ages
The Festival is definitely an event for families and for kids, with hands-on activities at many exhibitors. Have fun as you test your knowledge, try your hand at new skills, and get involved first-hand with sustainability.  There’ll also be plenty of opportunities to express your sustainable creativity.

Food, Music
Delicious local food and drink will be available for purchase, and local musicians will share their unique sounds throughout the day.
 
Moving Toward Zero Waste
There will be recycling bins available, and compost bins for any food waste, to minimize the impact of the Festival on the environment. And please! Bring your re-usable water mug! You can refill with water from the drinking fountains in the Park.
 
Coming to the Festival
What’s more sustainable than biking to the Festival? There’ll be plenty of bike parking on site.
 
If you can’t bike, there is plenty of on-street parking -- free on Saturdays. Or come by bus -- or even on the streetcar, if you don’t mind a bit of a walk from the streetcar stop.
