Saturday Celebration – Eco Festival

Celebrate, enjoy and learn at the Eco Fair. Meet dozens of organizations, groups and
vendors while being entertained by a variety of performers at the outdoor Sun Center around the Hippodrome in downtown Gainesville.

The fair will feature special activities and demonstrations and activities for all ages. Meet with area organizations to learn about local projects and how to get involved in solving environmental issues.

From 1:00 – 4:00 pm, the Alachua County Environmental Protection Department is
sponsoring a project to collect, recycle, treat and properly dispose of household hazardous waste and electronic equipment.

Barrels of Hope Earth Bag Demonstration Event
Please join us to see this project in action. We will be constructing an 8′x10′ demonstration shelter in one day to show how quickly and easily these homes can be built.
