Sustainable Living Festival
Saturday, May 16th 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Green Needham and Sustainable Wellesley are collaborating to bring you a Sustainable Living Festival on Saturday, May 16th, from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
We are bringing together electric cars, delicious local foods, solar power, stylish upcycled fashions and a lot more. There will be activities for the kids, ways to save money, exciting new technologies and interesting lectures and movies.
We will have over 40 exhibitors demonstrating, sharing, informing and playing. In addition we have a fascinating set of lightning-quick 10 minute presentations. There is a wide range of interesting subjects like landscaping, investing, lighting, growing food and more. Below is the current schedule, and check back nearer the day as times may change.
The Sustainable Living Festival will be at Wellesley’s Municipal Light Plant – right next to the Fire Station on Routes 9 and 16. Click here for map and directions.
We’ll update this page with new information between now and the festival.
Kids Zone activities include:
- Climb on the Light Plant’s trucks, repair a simulated outage, and see the lights and wires that light up Wellesley
- Use your energy on a bicycle to power up lights
- Observation bee hive
- Seed planting and identification games
- Solar panel exploration
