A GREENER FESTIVAL
14.03.2008
In this location, how could we think otherwise?
As our artists will perform against a backdrop of majestic snow capped mountains, we are making every effort to produce the festival with as little impact on the environment as possible.
Hydro-electric energy will be the main power source for the festival’s energy, and the festival will promote car pooling with the incentive that cars coming in with four or more people will be able to park for free.
And local Pemberton Valley farm products, which the area is well known for, will be served throughout the 360 acre festival site. A farmer’s market - where local farmers can sell their goods directly to concert-goers - is even being planned for the site.
Find out more in coming months about ways in which we are reducing the carbon footprint of the festival.
