This year’s Green Faire will take place on Saturday November 2nd 2013

Featuring a wide range of green products and services, a great line up of  informative talks, new innovations and inventions.
.
Explore ways to make your home and lives more healthy, happy and sustainable. Get stuck in to some natural building techniques and tuck in to a selection of delicious healthy food options.

Last year’s event hosted over 70 stalls and was 100% powered by solar and wind power.

A feature of the Green Faire is the PLANET WARRIORS FESTIVAL, in an effort to inspire kids to be green. Interested children from all primary schools in Hout Bay partake in a Recycle Market and Eco-Fashion Show followed by a fun musical Talent Contest where budding musicians unleash their talents to the broader community.

The Green Faire provides a much needed platform to  showcase the growing number of products and services available to conserve resources and alleviate the need for unhealthy food, chemicals, pollution, or unnecessary waste. It offers a wide range of riveting information on current and topical issues that concern us all and most of all it empowers children to be Planet Warriors – Leaders of Change.

The Hout Bay Green Faire has a fantastic community atmosphere. I stayed the whole day, loads of entertainment for kids, rivetting talks, interesting people to talk to about products and services we’ve been thinking about, great food and good vibes. A great place to meet friends and green minded people. I’ll be coming to this Faire every year. “  Jayne Fairchild, Rondebosch, 2011
