• Bring a reusable water bottle. A mobile chilled water refill station will be provided at this event, and participants can enter to win a free raffle at the Ripple Effect booth by showing their reusable water bottle.
• Properly dispose of any material or food waste. Recycling and composting waste stations are available throughout the event space.
• Walk, bike, carpool or take public transportation. Bike racks are available near the event location. 

There are several options to get to Fest of Fall without having to worry about traffic or parking:
