Green Festival Takes Over McCormick Place

Green Festival will be taking over Chicago this weekend.

The largest green consumer living event is here for a seventh year in a row and kicks off at McCormick Place at 11 a.m. Saturday. It runs through Sunday.

The Green Festival event features more than 125 speakers and 300 Green Marketplace exhibitors on 10 stages and pavilions.

Attendees can browse everything from non-toxic home products to organic clothing.

Green Festival gives back "GF Bucks"to individuals who purchase tickets online or at the door. GF Bucks are the local Green Festival currency and can be used as cash to shop in the Green Marketplace.

“Last fall, Green Festival stimulated the green economy by giving back $44,000 to local, regional and national sustainable businesses through the new “GF Bucks” admissions policy,” said Global Exchange and Green Festival Founder Dr. Kevin Danaher.

This is the festival's 10th Anniversary.
