The Fairfax Eco Fest is part of the 38th annual Fairfax Festival, “Marin’s premier community celebration.”  Richard Pedemonte, Festival Chairman, writes:

“The Fairfax Festival embodies the values that are dear to all Marinites: community, family, social responsibility, sustainability and, of course, a great party.

“It kicks off with a traditional Family Film Night, this year ‘The Lego Movie‘ – in the Ballfield on Friday night, June 12th, 8:00 pm. Join us for the parade at 10 am on Saturday, then enjoy two days of celebrating the good things in life and in Fairfax.

“Come hear great local music at three stages, shop for crafts and flea market treasures, enjoy fresh, wholesome food, beer, organic wine tasting, entertain the kids in our expanded children’s area, and ponder social and environmental issues at the Ecofest. This year we also have US PureWater filtered water stands so you can refill your water containers.

“. . . . We take special pride in being a 100% volunteer group (no outside promoter needed).”

The Eco Fest takes place 11 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Come visit Green Sangha’s table.  Better yet, volunteer for one or more hours!  Grace Severtson is organizing a beautiful, fun, interactive table for adults and children alike.  RSVP to Grace:  graziellacallegari@yahoo.com.
