Celebrating what’s working in our communities, green festival showcases more than 350 diverse local and national green businesses displaying and selling eco-friendly, fair trade and sustainable products. More than 150 visionary speakers appear for standing-room-only panel discussions, presentations and main stage speaking events.

You’ll also enjoy great how-to workshops, green films, a fair trade pavilion, yoga and movement classes, kids’ zone, delicious organic beer, wine and cuisine, and live music.

We extend a special thanks to the City of Chicago and the Chicago Department of Environment for their support in bringing Green Festival to the Midwest. And we deeply appreciate the amazing efforts of the Host Committee, Chicago’s green business and community leaders who help Green Festival provide the best products, services and technologies in the Great Lakes.
