The festival is organized around action areas, such as transportation, civic engagement, green building, water, food and garden, health & well-being, media & communication, and so on. Attendees have many opportunities to express themselves, learn new skills, share ideas and just play!

Every year, we invite the Ballard community and local green organizations to help create this unique and joyful celebration. Your support helps us to cover costs of this free public event and to provide quality education to the community throughout the year. Your sponsorship also offers you a unique and low cost/high value publicity opportunity.2009Bike_Share_Booth_vag
