The 6th annual Sustainable Ballard Festival will take place this weekend in the Ballard Commons Park at NW 57th and NW 22nd from 12pm to 5pm on Saturday (9/26) and Sunday (9/27). The festival will highlight local businesses, individuals, and groups that have worked toward sustainability through a variety of different avenues. There will be a music stage, Food and Garden Learning Stage, discussion forum, workshops, and booths from local businesses and organizations.

Everyone is welcome and invited, and this is an event for the whole family! There will be an eclectic mix of live music, with acoustic guitar, African drumming, string bands, folk, and jazz throughout both afternoons.

There will be various workshops providing instruction and information about sustainable practices made easy at home.

At the Food and Garden Learning Stage, there will be demonstrations pertaining to local foods, eating seasonally, and gardening in the Northwest.

The fair is put on by Sustainable Ballard, a non-profit organization started in 2003 to promote and develop sustainability within the Ballard community.
