Go Green
It’s no secret that festivals and large events generate a ton of waste. With so many people gathered together, the overload of garbage is almost inevitable! That’s why the Nelsonville Music Festival is proud to be a zero waste festival. They’ve partnered with Rural Action’s Zero Waste Program to make sure all trash is diverted and recycled. It’s a win-win!
