End September with (the Kelly Ripa-approved!) Ecofest this Sunday, the East Coast's largest environmental event. In it's 19th year it continues to showcase all aspects of the green movement from technology to lifestyle, and even fashion. The fest will feature:
• Launch of the newest fleet of Chevrolet's and Volkswagen's fuel cell SUVs and hybrids in a first-ever preview
• Education sessions with green thought leaders
• For kids, eco-education through arts, crafts and music
• Green lifestyle education including fitness and health topics
It looks like green is the new black, with eco-fashions becoming more in style. The fest will also show some innovative designs which will be for sale (here are some shots from last year's fashion show). Kids, parents, fashionistas, gearheads, health nuts, artists...will all be coming together in the name of green, join them!
When: Sunday September 30th, from 11am to 6pm
Where: Lincoln Center Plaza, Damrosch Park, (62nd Street at Amsterdam Avenue)
