Art, fashion, food, music, shopping and sustainability come together at the
Green Earth Festival on Saturday 13 March at the
Brisbane City Botanic Gardens.
The festival offers something for everyone with lots to keep the kids entertained as well:
* a kid's zone with storytelling, magic tricks, karaoke and Bollywood fitness;
* a variety of food stalls for the eco-friendly gourmet including
Funky Pies and
Conscious Kitchen;
* workshops on meditation and cruelty free cooking;
* presentations on environmentalism, health, animals and social activism;
* shopaholics are catered for with skin care, clothing, music, detox products and even
environmental toothbrushes for sale; and
* fashionistas can explore eco-friendly fashion in the art and fashion zone.
Throughout the day enjoy being serenaded by a variety of acoustic and electric performers inlcuding Holy Voodoo and the JahBand.
Spoken word poet Andrew Lang will also be peforming. If live performance isn't your scene, the Video Zone at the Green Earth Festival will be showing short films, documentaries and movies as well as announcing the winners of the Green Earth Festival Short Film Contest.
Alternatively stretch your legs and enjoy a guided tour of the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens. Choose from the Water Wise Garden Tour, Australian Native Species Tour, Food Garden Tour or try all three (tours last between 30 - 60 minutes).
In keeping with the Green Earth Festival's theme of sustainability, why not leave the car at home. Catch a train, bus or ferry to the city and then hop on the free bus service The Loop which will drop you off right outside the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens.
