The ecofest is a celebration of all things green including an alternative fuel car show and a fashion show featuring clothing made from recycled materials.

Ecofest runs through Sunday with kids’ activities; organic and local food and beverages
and vendors who specialize in and support ecological responsibility.

"We like to think that people can just walk away with one good, green idea that they can implement into their daily lives. They can see what other people are doing in the fields of energy and innovation and other great green products they can use," says Michael Phillipson, Co-Founder of Greentopia. "It's not just about sustainability in the environment, it's really about sustainable living; healthy eating, exercise, certainly the environment. We have a great alternative fuel car show. It's just a lot of great stuff and a lot of great programming for people to come on down and check out. "

The ecofest is the fourth and final event of the second annual Greentopia
