We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to lowering its environmental footprint.  Partnering with nonprofit groups in he area we have developed an aluminum can and plastic bottle recycling program which has been rewarding for all involved for the last decade. We ensure that a cardboard recycling bin is on the festival site and properly marked to enable our volunteers, patrons, and vendors easy access. All gray water discharge from our events is drained into the municipal sewer treatment system.
