FRIDAY-SUNDAY, AUGUST 3-5, 2018 - BOSTON CITY HALL PLAZA & FANEUIL HALL - FREE!
11th Annual Boston GreenFest
About
Boston GreenFest is a grassroots effort organized by the Foundation for a Green Future and its dedicated team of community volunteers. Our goal is to educate and empower people to create a more sustainable, healthier world. We are actively building an interconnected, ever expanding network throughout our neighborhoods, city and region. From business to nonprofit, neighborhood association to academic institution, Boston GreenFest welcomes everyone for our 11th anniversary. Boston GreenFest is excited to bring you this wonderful free three-day festival at Boston City Hall Plaza as it is transformed into a fun interactive community classroom.
Our theme this year is #ChangingCourse. This has many implications. Here are two: with climate change, the world is changing course in ways that we are not prepared for and it is up to us to change course in our habits in order to combat climate change and become better stewards of our planet.HOURS OF OPERATION:
