The Downtown Alliance is pleased to announce a new partnership with ReDirect Guide to present the 7th annual Live Green SLC! Festival: Saturday, May 8th at Library Square from 10 am to 6 pm.

This event—which is the most recognized environmental fair in the State of Utah—is educational, entertaining, and engaging. More than 100 vendors are expected to be at the festival, including a variety of businesses that share the vision of providing a healthy environment and a more sustainable economy.

Join your conscientious community for this festive occasion, explore the many options for environmentally-friendly living, and experience some of the following exhibits and demonstrations:

Movie Premiere: Be among the first to see Waste Land, winner of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival World Cinema Audience Award for Documentary.

Live Auction: Have fun bidding for green goods and services from local restaurants and businesses, with low starting bids on most items to encourage fun and engagement.

Alternative Transportation Exhibitors: Talk to vehicle owners, inventors, and businesses about alternatives: biodiesel, solar-powered, electric, natural gas, and pedal-powered.

Local Plant Vendors: Add some “green” to your life. A variety of vendors will be selling locally-grown bedding plants, and Master Gardeners will offer advice on the proper plants for your plot.

Sustainable Products and Businesses: Become familiar with businesses that strive to reduce carbon footprints. (Recycled paper products, low-water toilets, recycled timber buildings, and much more.)

Builders and Architects: Learn about the benefits of living downtown and using sustainable products for building. Downtown Salt Lake City is home to leaders in green building design.

Eco-Activities for Kids: Bring the entire family to Live Green. Teaching children about conservation and preservation gives profound hope for a healthier and more sustainable future.

Community Advocates: Be introduced to the organizations that fight the good fight. Learn about what issues different groups support and volunteer opportunities in the non-profit community.

Solar Powered Food Vendors and Beer Garden: Enjoy food from a selection of organic and natural food vendors who are dedicated to reducing, reusing, and recycling. Visit the Squatters beer tent powered by the sun.

Live Music, Performers, Great Fun: Listen to the rhythmic sounds of favorite local musicians, be amazed by local talent, climb the rock wall, enjoy the Eco-Chic fashion show and many other event features. Visit www.LiveGreenSLC.com for more information.
