"This is a fun, educational event for the whole family. We want people to come and enjoy a beautiful day full of great activities while learning more about our environment. The drought facing this part of the country has made us especially aware about the impact we have on our environment. We want people to learn about some of the simple ways they can make a difference with water conservation," says Toni Guy, festival chairperson. 

The festival brings the community together to have fun, connect with environmentally-minded organizations and businesses, and to enjoy Ventura’s spectacular natural surroundings. The free event offers fun and creativity for the whole family.  

Now in its eighth year, the festival has grown from being a school fundraiser to an award-winning community event, attracting over 5,000 visitors, featuring 100 exhibitors.

Profits from the day-long event go toward funding enrichment programs for kindergarten through eighth-grade students at the tuition-free public school.
