We'll spend the afternoon celebrating the creative, innovative ways we can embrace a zero waste future with activities and events showcasing artists and the emerging technologies and businesses who are repurposing, recycling and developing zero waste packaging and durable goods

Stay till the end to help us deconstruct the venue by sorting materials into their proper bins so they can re-enter the resource stream!
Trashlantis
Plastic trash washing into the ocean has mutated the ancient race of amphibious Atlanteans dwelling beneath the Great Pacific Gyre. They now rely on plastic as much as we do– but they can't manufacture it! They are coming to dry land, searching for plastic to sustain their mighty civilization. Welcome to the strangest Harvest Festival you've ever been too... it's a harvest of plastic and trash from our creeks and neighborhoods!
2024 Music: Great Local Bands!
UP-cycle Rally

12pm to 2pm
