About the St. Louis Earth Day Festival

FESTIVAL DESCRIPTION: The Festival is the oldest and largest environmental event in the Midwest featuring over 250 vendors and attracting over 30,000 people. It is the premier destination to learn about environmental issues and solutions in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere of celebration. Live entertainment, local food, wine and beer and hands-on activities are also an important part of the Festival.

WHO ATTENDS: A diverse, highly-educated demographic ranging in age and interest. Many attend as a family or with a group of friends. Attendees are united by the desire to discover GREEN information in a fun environment. We also draw many who are new to the green movement, making the Festival an ideal setting to promote your product or service.

VENDORS SELLING PRODUCTS: Vendors with affordably priced items ($5-$40) do well. Promoting higher-end products is encouraged but onsite sales will most likely be limited. Vendors promoting services report a strong correlation between this event and leads/new clients. Finally, the Festival is an ideal venue to collect contact information for future promotion.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY: Vendors are strongly encouraged to offer products and services that are in keeping with the environmental spirit of Earth Day. Help reduce your environmental impact by minimizing the number of printed materials on hand and by collecting email addresses for future electronic (paperless) promotion.

EVENT FOOTPRINT: The Festival will again be organized by Neighborhood sections to enhance educational aspects of the event and allow for easy navigation. Themed Neighborhoods will receive special distinction via Festival signage, placement in the program and content-specific educational hands-on activities. Vendors preferring the covered walkways will not be put into topical groupings, but will be placed in this prime location on a first-come, first-serve basis.
