Breaking Ground: A Spring Festival from the Earth Commons

Festival-goers can enjoy free food made and browse booths featuring local vendors offering environmentally friendly products like thrifted clothing, handmade knits, used books and vegan desserts. Live reggae music will be followed by Georgetown musician Amanda Estevez and a special performance from the Circle of Indigenous Students Alliance (CISA).

The festival kicks off with a planting party, where participants are invited to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty by planting the vegetables and herbs that will feed the community and teach us about sustainable growing practices. Bring a recycled container—such as a used single-use cup—to plant your own seedlings!

Breaking ground together will serve as a powerful symbol of community unity and our shared commitment to the environment and to nourishing one another sustainably.
