This year's Green Festival theme is "Engagement" - with exciting new ways to shop green, be inspired, get engaged and give back. Community members enjoy informative, insightful speakers, incomparable green shopping, cutting edge eco-innovations, great live music, fun and educational family activities, hands-on workshops, organic wine and beer and delicious, local vegetarian cuisine. Exciting keynote speakers include Ralph Nader, Amy Goodman, Gilberto Gil, Patti Moreno, Reverend Lennox Yearwood, Jr., Dean Baker, Bernardine Dorhn, Bill Ayers, Ibrahim Abdul-Matin, Daniel Pinchbeck, Goumbri, Tracy McQuirter and many more. New admission options include "Pay it forward and Get it Back at Green Festival" which invites community members to volunteer with or donate to local nonprofit organizations to receive complimentary admission and those who purchase tickets will receive "Green Bucks," which can be used as currency in the green marketplace. Admission discounts are also available to students, seniors, cyclists (with bike valet) and public transit riders.
