Boston GreenFest is an entertaining education festival celebrating the many ways we can create a better world by greening our neighborhoods, our communities and the entire Boston area. It will engage the participants, young and old, in a search for new ideas and approaches to reduce our impact on our planet. The festivities will include "Project Recycle Runway", a walk through the Time Tunnel, gospel with the Boston Community Choir, fun with the "YoYo Show", lots more entertainment, food, and fun activities for children.
