I loved how many vendors were available. I loved all the jewelry (Terra natural designs). I will gladly attend again.

The event was informative, enjoyed the speakers and samples...excellent. All ther workers were so kind and informative. Freebies, of course were great!!! So enjoy the fashion show. Looking forward to next year....thank you so much to the people who put together the event!!! I learned alot!

I liked this year's Green Festival. I have been attending it for the past few years and was very pleased to see more Black female vendors who had started their own businesses. It was disappointing to see more empty space than in past years. The room was not as full.

This is an amazing event for those interested in green living, and learning about green living. There were many booths with products of all kinds, personal and home improvement; loads of free samples, fair trade merchandise, Women and Children First bookstore, animal welfare organizations, and lunches served by Chicago Diner and Soul Veg East, among others. There were also numerous speakers on several stages, national and local, such as Van Jones,an eco-friendly fashion show preceded by a hip-hop dance concert, a yoga/movement venue so we were able to try out qi gong, zumba, yoga. It has the feel of any street festival, but inside, and all fair trade and green.
On the downside, it was at Navy Pier this year, which means parking is quite expensive, and since the lots were full, we parked in the alternate parking and walked over. Also expensive.
