Green Festivals are a celebration of what’s working in our communities, – for people, for businesses and for the environment.

Green Festivals bring together local and national socially responsible businesses, environmental, social justice, and community organizations, with 20 to 25,000 concerned individuals for two day events aimed at forging a just, sustainable, and inclusive economy – a green economy.

Green Festivals are a walk through a sustainable community. It starts with the personal – how people can make their lives work better. Individuals, business and community leaders also come together to discuss social and environmental issues of personal, local, national, and global concern. Businesses and organizations showcase their programs and products that serve the community. Neighbor-to-neighbor connections are formed, and skills are shared to empower people to create a livable community. Of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without music, art, culture and delicious food – all from local based organizations and businesses.

The Green Festival is a joint project of two non-profit organizations: Global Exchange and Co-op America. Both organizations bring individuals, businesses and investors together to work cooperatively in creating positive economic solutions for communities and the environment.
