Thursday, August 15 – Saturday, August 17 – Boston GreenFest

Boston GreenFest is organized by the Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. As the region’s largest multicultural environmental festival, Boston GreenFest celebrates the many ways we can create a better world by greening our lives and our communities. Turn your world around and have fun at the same time! Free admission at Boston City Hall Plaza at Government Center. Bring your own reuseable water bottle to Boston GreenFest. To help raise awareness about the wastefulness of plastic water bottles, Boston GreenFest will provide free drinking water to everyone. MWRA will help us provide fresh cold water for all festival goers using a special portable water fountain. The Foundation for a Green Future, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring a green future for our planet and is proud to host this event. We teach, support and model sustainable ways to live for ourselves and our children. Green roofs are an important part of the solution. This festival will go beyond our roofs. It will get to the core of GREEN SOLUTIONS for our entire Boston Community. Native American Drum & Dance Ceremony will launch Boston GreenFest 2013 on the Main Stage, Thursday, August 15th at 5 pm. Annawon Weeden will lead the ceremony with friends and family of Wampanoag and Narragansett heritage.
