Earthfest 2008 kicks off today in Boston.
Earthfest offers two days of entertainment in the name of saving the environment. This year’s attendance is expected to top 100,00 with this year being the biggest ever in Earthfest’s history.
As well as spreading the environmentally friendly message, the event will be giving exposure to the latest eco-friendly products and the good work of non-profit organizations that are working towards the protection of the environment and the world. There is no doubt that this message needs to be spread more now than it ever has before.
Of course, an extensive recycling scheme is in place at Earthfest. All vendors are asked to use fully recyclable materials for the food and drink packaging. The vendors are also encouraged to have their booths made out of environmentally friendly materials. Earthfest will even have ‘bike valets’ on hand to encourage people to cycle to Earthfest rather than taking the car.
Who is playing Earthfest 2008?
The big draws for this year’s Earthfest will be headliners CAKE and Cracker. Other acts performing are KT Tunstall, Guster, Mat Kearney, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Away from the main stage, they will have local bands playing on the Boston music stage and family oriented acts appearing on the kid’s planet stage.
All in all, it looks to be a great day out at Earthfest 2008
