EarthFest Singapore celebrates the first comprehensive sustainability festival in Singapore and takes place on September 26, 2015. The event is a collaboration between many different businesses and organisations in Singapore with the purpose of encouraging sustainability. Basically the event has components of a Food festival - as an international food fair of foods with lower environmental footprints, a farmer's market and bazaar (a mix of organic / non-organic foods) and a Music festival which features live music from local talent, Edutainment is covered with a carnival with environmentally themed educational games. It also includes a documentary screening of The End of the Line: How Overfishing Is Changing the World and What We Eat and talks and is a low-waste festival, incorporating elements of the circular and sharing economies. The event will be held at Marina Barrage and free tickets are available.
The idea about this event came from Michael Broadhead who is currently also the Organizer of the first edition of EarthFest in September 2015.
