The Green Festival is the biggest and most diverse green living festival in the United States. Every November since 2001, activists, environmentalists, and policymakers have gathered in San Francisco and Los Angeles for a weekend-long celebration of all things green and sustainable.
The Green Festival features a broad variety of activities ranging from presentations by the biggest names in the environmental movement to a Green Kids Zone full of hands-on activities. Events and activities at the Green Festival include film screenings by the Sierra Club, an organic food court and beer garden, vegan cooking demonstrations, and a Green Marketplace offering locally sourced sustainable goods and gifts. Whether you want to take a hatha yoga class or learn how to build an eco-friendly greenhouse for your own backyard, there’s something to satisfy all interests at the annual Green Festival.
In San Francisco, the Green Festival is hosted each year at The San Francisco Concourse Exhibition Center. Test drive the latest green cars like the Focus Electric and C-MAX Energi to see where the sustainable future is headed or check out a presentation on agricultural activism in the Bay. Presentation topics at past Green Festival San Francisco events have included titles like “Economics for the Seventh Generation” and “Upping the Ante to Defend People & Planet: The Role of Non-Violent Civil Disobedience.” Speakers have included authors and activist icons like Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, John Perkins of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, and Annie Leonard of The Story of Stuff.
Tickets to the Green Festival in San Francisco are around $10 for daily admission. Weekend passes cost around $15, providing the best overall deal. After the Green Festival, enjoy a vegetarian dinner or organic cocktail at the restaurants and bars nearby in San Francisco.
