You're Invited!
Celebrate Riverside’s leadership in sustainability with a fun-filled festival and facilitated summit.
The Green Festival will include outdoor interactive activities; indoor lectures and workshops; and afternoon movies. After lunch, a Summit forum will be held to solicit input from the community about ways that residents can partner with the city, businesses, and groups to create a “Green Renaissance” for the greater Riverside area.
Program tracks include:
✓ Local Foods
✓ Green Living
✓ Smart Cities
✓ Wild Riverside: Wildlife, Watersheds, and Native Plants.
This collaborative event will offer hands-on art, educational, and fun activities. Take home ideas for sustainable living and learn about using your “purchasing power” for the benefit of our local economy.
The City of Riverside and many community partners have undertaken a variety of efforts to make Riverside a greener, safer, and healthier place. Our goal for this event is to showcase those efforts and create network connections between those working toward a sustainable future.
We hope you will join us at Riverside Community College’s quad and garden for lectures and activities, then dining hall for lunch and Summit.

This Greater Riverside Environmentally Engaged Network (GREEN) works to raise awareness, engage community, and create connections that help Riverside become more sustainable in a variety of ways.
GREEN is a result of the first Green Riverside Leadership Summit (GRLS) that solicited community input. The 2012 Summit collaborators identified the need for a community network and event, thus the Riverside Green Festival.
GRLS is a group of community leaders who are working toward a more environmentally sustainable future. Riverside has held two Green Riverside Leadership Summits, one in 2012 and 2014. These events provide the opportunity for community members to collectively review progress in becoming a more sustainable city, set goals for future collaborative projects, and develop a resource network to support and promote existing programs. The GRLS collaborative is an outgrowth of Riverside’s Seizing Our Destiny initiative and is aligned with goals of the Riverside Sustainability Coalition (formerly known as the GAP or Green Action Plan committee).
