The Town of Bridgewater, NS, is getting ready to host its annual Growing Green! Sustainability Festival. This year’s festival is taking place on Saturday, July 23, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on King Street, between Empire and Dominion.
Held along the banks of the breathtaking LaHave River, the festival is dedicated to promoting sustainable living in all its forms – making it different from any other festival in the entire region.
During the celebration, the town’s main thoroughfare is closed down and the street is filled with bright and colourful displays and exhibits dedicated to the promotion of sustainability.
But it’s not just about sorting garbage or using bio fuels – here, you’ll find a range of performers, artisans and local food producers, each showing in their own way that small actions can have a huge impact. The festivalwill go ahead rain or shine on July 23 and includes the following:
- An expanded Bridgewater Farmers’ Market
- The Walk ‘n’ Roll Active Transportation parade, designed to get participants moving in a colourful and fun way
- Earth-friendly entertainment and activities for kids
- The premiere of a month-long art display at the Bridgewater Library
- A green legacy project, which will see a parcel of land cleaned up in preparation of the creation of a new water garden along the LaHave River
