We wanted to share our exciting new year’s resolution with you… to make the 2015 MI Earth Day Fest the planet’s largest and liveliest Earth Day event!
We can’t do it without you. Please take a moment to check out event details below and at www.miEDF.com. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to participate at no charge or promote your products/services at the lowest pricing available only through next Friday, January 16.
The 10th annual MI Earth Day Fest will be held April 24-26, 2015 at a great new location in the City Center on the banks of the Paint Creek. The festival site is much larger than last year and will accommodate many more exhibits, attractions and activities. Proximity to Rochester’s natural areas – the popular Municipal Park and Paint Creek Trail – will allow the event to take advantage of the area’s natural beauty and to produce additional special events.
The festival will offer all of the attractions and festivities of past years, including:
150+ exhibits at 10 shopping venues from Auto Alley to Wellness Way
Kids Korner with straw-bale & tower climbs, and family-friendly activities
Main Stage with a full weekend schedule of popular local talent and awards ceremony
larger Connect Cafe with NPO round-tables & separate presentation stage
MI Green Hall of Fame & My Green School Art awards ceremony
Planning is underway to add several new and improved special events, including:
Evening-hours Party for the Planet beer garden & headliner entertainment
RARA Earth Day Run and a bike ride on the Paint Creek trail
Cooperative programs, contests and awards with area schools
Movie premiere screening at a large outdoor venue
DIY workshops including rain-barrel and raised-bed gardening
Tours of Rochester’s award-winning downtown and natural attractions
As always, event participants will benefit from a marketing and publicity effort unmatched by comparable events, including over $150,000 in donated major media advertising, major news coverage including multiple live TV feeds, a popular event website and Facebook page, and consistent community development. With this mounting promotional effort, a great new location, a bigger and better venue, and many new special events, we expect a significant increase in attendance over last year’s 50,000 visitors.
Sponsoring the festival offers a unique opportunity to leverage this marketing, as well as interest in Earth Day and one of its largest observances. A limited number of exclusive sponsorships are still available. Check out the Sponsorship Opportunities booklet or contact Debbie Stachel at debbie@migreenteam.com for further details and for a customized sponsorship proposal.
The 2015 MI Earth Day Fest will be the largest gathering of green/healthy living consumers anywhere. It benefits from a Rochester location which is gaining national recognition as one of the best places to live and conduct business. Exhibitors need look no further to gain access to this lucrative audience. Reserve an exhibit space before 5pm Friday, January 16th and take advantage of the very lowest exhibit fees. Visit the Exhibitor webpage for further details.
As always, green/wellness non-profit organizations are invited to apply to table and provide programming at no charge. And volunteers are always greatly appreciated.
Here’s to a great, green 2015 and to Making Every Day Earth Day
