  • ABOUT THE EVENT

    The Family Action Network of Winchester, in collaboration with Sustainable Winchester, will showcase the concepts of "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" through fun and engaging children's events, offering unique recycling opportunities and by providing community members with opportunities to learn about how to integrate a sustainable lifestyle within our homes and our everyday lives.

     
    The primary aim of the Eco Festival is to educate our community members about the conservation of our natural resources and about innovative alternative-energy technologies and waste reduction practices.

    Through our children's activities, dynamic exhibits, workshops and stimulating speakers, the Winchester Eco Festival will foster public awareness about opportunities for environmental change. It is hoped that the event will inspire community members to make their homes, businesses and town more ecologically advanced and environmentally sound, while also encouraging activism and volunteerism.

    This environmental festival is free to the public, thanks to the support of corporations such as Whole Foods Market, REI, Staples and LL Bean, as well as by the support of local businesses including Carole’s Kitchen and Bath, Gerrity Stone, Boston Green Realty, Boston Tree Preservation, Local Hero Tech Support, Moriarty & Berty General Dentistry, Pywell Contracting Services and the Anderson Team Realtors.

    We are pleased to present the opportunity for non-profit organizations, schools, and local businesses to come together to present their environmental message, involvement and programs to an audience of concerned Winchester residents.
