Spring "Green" Festival is Coming May 4th


Spring is a time for new beginnings. In Colfax, CA it’s a time of celebration.          

The Spring Green Festival – coming to Colfax on Saturday, May 4th – will be filled with fun and entertainment and good food. It includes a Luau Party, complete with a roasted pig and hula dancers. A Sierra Vista Community Center event, The Spring Green Festival, celebrates Earth Day offering a variety of “green” activities from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  

Located in the community center, at 55 School St., Colfax, CA, festival organizers hold the event to educate and promote a living-green mindset by conserving resources, shopping locally and enjoying outdoor activities. During the festival, attendees will find displays by vendors offering green products and services, including alternative energy, builders, designers and energy-efficient products.

Visitors can find health-and-wellness information, as well as ideas for turning trash into treasure. Master Gardener DeBora Miller will hold composting demonstrations and more throughout the day. The Sierra Vista Art Center 2nd Spring Green Art Show features a recycled theme and wearable art. Art for indoors, and out, created by art center artists, will be available. A “recycled” Fashion Show will also be held.

Then unwind and enjoy a healthy Hawaiian meal! Serving for the roast-pig barbecue starts in the Sierra Vista multi-purpose room at noon and lasts until the last bit of succulent pig, and side dishes, have been served. Tickets are $10 per person. Adult drinks will also be available. The Hawaiian dancing group, Wahine U'I from Alameda, will provide free entertainment for all.
