With your help, the Gathering of the Vibes made great strides toward reducing our ecological footprint in 2007. Among some exciting firsts, solar panels were used to generate a considerable amount of the power needed to run 2 of our music stages. We've continued our practice of off-setting the festival�s carbon footprint through the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits which support the growth of wind and solar energy options. We�re thrilled to be back home at Seaside Park and we want to do everything possible to make sure that we�re welcome for many years to come. Together, lets make this our greenest event yet!

-Think reusable before you buy disposable!
-Bring bags for garbage AND recycling.
