Eco Fest 2024

​
Eco Fest 2024 was held at Headwaters Park in downtown Fort Wayne on May 19th. This was the fifth annual festival. Eco Fest Fort Wayne was founded in 2019 and has continued to grow. The goal of the festival is to promote local sustainability at a family friendly venue.   

The festival was held at Headwaters Park. That was appropriate. It borders the St. Joseph Watershed. It is a vibrant greenspace connected to Lawton Park and Promenade Park. It is a place of wildlife, greenery, and culture and history. 

The festival was home to non-for-profit green organizations, environmental groups, for profits that worked to be sustainable, and earth friendly food vendors.  Old friends were plentiful: LC Nature Park, ACRES Land Trust, Little River Wetlands Project, Dick's Organics, The Farm Micro Sanctuary, and so many more.  

It was a day of gathering information, interesting conversations, games for children, workshops, food and music.   If you want to learn about planting native, go to Eco Fest.
