    Grow your business…Sponsor our 16th Annual Festival

    The Sustainable Ballard Festival is one of the highlights of the year for Ballard, drawing over 4,000 attendees.  It is an important showcase of our community’s efforts to promote sustainable ways of living.   Attendees get ideas and inspiration, make connections, and open their eyes to new possibilities for living more lightly on the earth.

Attendees have many opportunities to express themselves, learn new skills, share ideas and just play!
