What is EcoFair?
Hosted by Energy Conservation Works, the Jackson EcoFair has celebrated simple and sustainable living in the Tetons every spring for 20 years. Drawing roughly 2,500 participants annually, EcoFair showcases local and regional environmental stewardship and action in sustainability efforts via a Zero Waste community celebration. Featuring sustainability-focused participant exhibits, live music, local food and beverage, engaging demonstrations, the EcoKids discovery zone, recycling education, and much more, EcoFair is a fun space for everyone to learn and become inspired.
In late March of 2020, the difficult decision was made to cancel the May event that year. Although we hoped then that we might be able to reschedule for the late summer or fall, it soon became clear that the landscape of large-scale events would be drastically changed for quite some time.
When the decision was once again made not to host a physical event in 2021, Energy Conservation Works spearheaded a variety of sustainability programing. On May 13 EcoTalks – a 5-part series featuring ECW Executive Director Phil Cameron having meaningful discussions with leaders in sustainability in great Jackson Hole community – launched alongside the EcoFair Community Sustainability Challenge, creating opportunity for community members to engage with each other surrounding their sustainability efforts in a virtual format.
In the spring of 2022, we brought the annual celebration back the 2nd Saturday in May. Now in 2023, 20 years after the first EcoFair took place at the Murie Center in Grand Teton National Park, we continue the tradition.
Join us on May 13, 2023 on the Center Lawn at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts to celebrate simple and sustainable living in the Tetons.
