Boston GreenFest Returns In-Person
Boston GreenFest is back from noon to 6 p.m., August 20 to 22 for three phenomenal days in-person on the Rose Kennedy Greenway near Rings Fountain. This year’s theme is Environment Equality NOW which connects the need for immediate action to provide clean air, clean water, clean earth and basic necessities for all. By bringing innovation, music, dance, sustainable products, electric vehicles, activities, food and ideas to the forefront, the event seeks to excite and educate the community while inspiring action and caring for each other and the planet. The first day of Boston GreenFest opens with music, great exhibits, activities on the lawn at the EcoFunSpot (yoga, hula hoops, dance, scavenger hunt), robots, delicious food, eco-vendors, electric vehicles and more. The annual EcoFashion Show will be added to the lineup of events from 4 to 5 p.m., on Saturday, and Sunday will be filled with even more music, great exhibits and activities on the lawn. The event’s carbon footprint will be offset through Renewable Energy Credits and will aim to have minimal waste, with mostly recycled and composted streams. There will be minimal use of electricity. Visitors are encouraged to walk, bike and ride the T or train to come enjoy the festival or take part through the livestreaming option.
