Green Earth Festival is a free, family orientated, community event which aims to stimulate awareness by bringing environmental, green, health and lifestyle, cruelty-free, recycling and sustainable issues into the public eye; encourage people to make simple changes in their everyday lives to help our environment and the world we leave for generations to come.

The festival will comprise live bands/performers, a second stage for demonstrations and speakers, a food zone, kids' zone, video zone, art and fashion displays, roving entertainment and many stalls to create a full-filled festival atmosphere strongly supporting the promotion of local grassroots communities, multiculturalism and the Indigenous people and their culture.

The Green Earth Festival is a not-for-profit event that is first and foremost a public education event but also acts as the best possible environment to research, test, trial, promote and a fundraise for the not-for-profit Green Earth Group Inc and the other environmental, green, health and lifestyle, recycling, sustainable, animal rights and welfare groups who attend. The Green Earth Festival aims to empower the community and the people within it to become more aware, more informed and thus more able to take action to implement the basic changes we need to help our planet. The Green Earth Festival will use this platform to give opportunities to link organisations and local communities to information and education to further create and sustain development.
