The Greening of Detroit, a local non-profit whose mission is to “guide and inspire the growth of a ‘greener’ Detroit through planting and educational programs, environmental leadership, advocacy, and by building community capacity,” is celebrating its 20thanniversary. Because this non-profit has done so much to make Detroit a healthier, greener place to live, and because it will be tons of fun, please join the Greening of Detroit for Live Love Local.
Live Love Local is being held at Eastern Market Shed from 11am – 5pm on Saturday, September 25th. Advanced tickets are $25 per person or $35 at the door, and $250 gets you a ticket to Live Love Local and to the VIP Afterglow Party. Festivities include great food, live music, and the Live Love Local Eco-village.
Twenty-four of Metro Detroit’s most decorated restaurants will be serving up mouth watering samples featuring local fresh fare. Onsite cooking demonstrations by local chefs will also be going on throughout the celebration in addition to performances by two homegrown Detroit bands, Blanche and Amp Fiddler. The most important part of the whole day is, of course, the Live Love Local Eco-village which showcases recycling, tree planting and urban gardening along with many other ways to live green.
If you do go out and enjoy the Greening of Detroit’s Live Love Local 20thanniversary celebration, and even if you can’t, hopefully you will be inspired to make your life, house, and community a little bit greener because the greener you live, the healthier you live. The Greening of Detroit offers volunteer opportunities for you to get involved in, but you can also make a difference by just making greener choices in your own home.
Tickets to Live Love Local can be purchased through the Greening of Detroit at 1418 Michigan Ave, Detroit, MI, or call 313-237-8733.
