Thank you for another successful Hendo Earth Fest!

The purpose of the Hendo Earth Fest is to promote community education for all ages on environmental and sustainable practices, inspire action, and renew and expand commitments to protect our planet. Local and regional environmental allies focus on participation/hands-on activities and demonstrations designed to educate, renew and expand action to protect our Western North Carolina environment and natural resources. In our first inaugural 2023 festival, we saw approximately 2,000+ participants!

Highlights from this year's fest:

7 engaging musical acts

46 environmental exhibitors

3,000+ participants

 

Multiple educational booths are situated at the festival for all ages to enjoy and learn.
