If you want to get your hippie on, come to Greenfest! It's an annual festival going strong, in fact growing strong, since 2006. The fest is coordinated by Clean Air Council Philly which promotes living a greener life in every way you can imagine and in some ways you probably never though of. All the yoga, organic fruit, yummy plant based noms and animal saving you can handle.
This year the festival expanded beyond just Head House Square, down to South Street at 3rd. The festival includes really great live music of all kinds, many local artisans and of course, many amazing food vendors such as My Soy Cafe, Nomad Pizza, Flora from Jenkintown and personal favorites (and always a bigger line) Kung Fu Hoagies and Gangster Vegan from Norristown. (Look out for their new brick and mortar opening in University City soon!!) This year there were cooking classes with some of Philly's favorite vegan gems like Ms Rachel's Pantry (fav), Revolution Taco and P'unk Burger.
There's a fun kids' corner sponsored by Mom's Organic who is always on hand dishing out FREE goodie bags and produce! (Oh, and they're opening up a shop right here in the city at 10th & Market in Dec/Jan 2016.) The kiddos could participate in FREE yoga, build and play with natural wood toys, sculpting, painting and meditate, even rock climb! Way cool!
Honestly, the festival is a great place for us freaky veg-heads to gather every year, but also for anyone who wants to venture out and try some of the most delicious animal friendly food you will ever have and learn about how we can all make the planet a little better! read more
