Get ready for the Boston GreenFest 2010! The festival is fully inclusive, filled with fun learning experiences to address the important changes we need to make in our daily lives and our neighborhoods.
Boston’s green festival will begin at Boston City Hall Plaza with a Kick-Off Concert on Thursday, August 19, from 5-10 pm and will continue all day long, Friday-Saturday, August 20-21, from 10 am-10 pm. It is an event that will have something for everybody, young and old.
All of the neighborhoods will come together from across Greater Boston to work on solutions to make the city a healthy sustainable place to live. People from all over New England will be welcome to join. Boston GreenFest 2010 brings many opportunities to the heart of the city to learn about green products, services, ideas, networks, and jobs.
There will be interactive exhibits, workshops, presentations, and special features: continuous live entertainment on three stages, Time Tunnel, Eco-Runway (green fashion shows), GreenFilmFest for children and adults, eco-games, One Gallon Challenge – a “race” starting at 11 am on Thursday, August 19th from Greenfield to GreenFest for cars that can drive 110 miles on 1 gallon of gas and arrive at City Hall throughout the afternoon to be on hand during the entire festival, lots of great kids’ activities including puppet shows and yo-yo shows, great food, and much more.
Find out how to save money and make your home efficient. Buy local fresh and organic fruits and vegetables. Explore interesting vendors of unique crafts and products. Check out new clean technologies and green inventions. Be amazed at how we can begin to make a difference with small changes to our own lives and how we can build on these changes with our neighbors. Let’s learn and celebrate together!
A great way to cut down on carbon emissions when discovering this fascinating city and getting around the festival is to walk.
Photowalks has generously offered to sponsor numerous walking tours of 15 minutes each walking in different directions. One tour will mount to the State House, another may head in the direction of the Greenway and the North End. Take a historic walking tour with Saba and snap lots of photos along the way.
What a refreshing way to spend the weekend!
