A Guide to GreenFest 2018

This Eco-Friendly Event Returns for the Fourth, Consecutive, Year



The annual Montgomery County GreenFest will be held this Saturday, May 5, at Jesup Blair Local Park in Silver Spring, Maryland.  The festival is family friendly and will include live music, interactive displays, food trucks, performances, and more!

Several of the events that will be featured during the 2018 GreenFest include:

The Repair Cafe: An event that will take place during the duration of GreenFest will allow attendees to bring items that need to be repaired.  The volunteers at the Repair cafe will attempt to fix items such as clocks, watches, jewelry, bikes, small appliances, and more.  This event is hosted by the Silver Spring Timebank.

Uprooted Dance Performances: Three Uprooted performances will take place during GreenFest.  The performers will combine rehearsed choreography, music, art, and research in the premiere of the original show "The Legacy Project."  Learn more about Uprooted Dance online
