Bring the whole family to celebrate Crissy Field Center's Grand gREen Opening at our new cutting edge building on East Beach! See green technology in action while enjoying music from the Banana Slug String Band, experience the Japanese folk drumming delights of Ensohza, and groove to fresh beats from DJ Baltazar of bay area radio fame. Stay for site tours, and family-friendly activities that demonstrate some of the building's cool sustainability features. Plus tastings from the Beach Hut menu and Eco-goodie give aways make it a fun-filled day for the whole family.
Here is a sample of what we have in store:
Gather in the Sustainable Arts Workshop to see how images and words can empower action around social and environmental justice issues then craft your own printed slogan on a button or recycled t-shirt.
Enjoy songs, stories, and interactive games for the little ones at 'Tot Corner.'
Construct a sustainable city using scissors, string, and a little ingenuity to transform ordinary cardboard moving boxes into your own work of architectural mastery.
Get clean, green, and gorgeous in the Urban Ecology Lab as you make safe, non-toxic cleaning supplies for the home, then try a little cosmetic chemistry by combining natural ingredients to create custom lip balm and shaving creams.
Trace the tracks of your favorite food using Google Earth in our state-of-the-art Media Lab and learn how to make smarter choices at the market.
Enter a free raffle for your chance to win free program certificates and more.
This event is FREE and for all ages! No RSVP necessary. The celebration will go on rain or shine. Check back often for event updates. Click here for directions to the new facility.
