Public Welcome

EcoFest is a collaborative annual event planned by several local non-profit environmental and arts groups, along with other community organizations.  

The Corridor’s premier Earth Day celebration, this family-friendly festival includes interactive educational activities, eco-products, eco-practice demonstrations in how to reduce our consumption of resources, fun ways to reduce and reuse household items, local foods, arts and free live music!  EcoFest helps us connect our personal choices to individual, community and planetary sustainability.   

Our local Wild Ones chapter will have a table at this event to spread awareness and attract new members.
