2020 Event has been cancelled

I am sorry to share that Greening Greater Racine and Gateway Technical College have made the difficult decision to cancel EcoFest Racine on Saturday, March 21 due to the rapidly evolving situation regarding coronavirus (COVID-19).

This is not a decision we made lightly. The health and safety of our volunteers, vendors, visitors and community are our priority. Because this is popular and people-focused event where it would be extremely difficult to maintain a safe social distance, we have chosen to cancel the event out of an abundance of caution. 

We appreciate the time so many of you were willing to donate to help make our event a success, and we look forward to partnering with you again for EcoFest 2021. When information about next year's event becomes available, I will be sure to reach out to everyone who had registered this year.

Thank you for your understanding. ...
