Zero Waste Principles

The festival strives to be a zero waste event in order to reduce its impact on the environment and community. The event uses: alternative energy - the stage is solar powered and all electricity used is renewable; carbon offsetting - all vehicles driven to and from the event are offset; waste diversion - Zero Waste Stations are set up throughout the park to minimize trash going to the landfill and maximize recycling and composting; and product replacement - all utensils are either compostable or recyclable.
