Green this, green that... the whole world seems to be going green these days. In keeping with the trend, the 23rd Annual Abbot Kinney Street Festival has decided to... well... go green for this year’s event. Festival organizers have included a Green Living Tent in this year’s slate of features. Speakers, seminars and vendors will all be stumping for the green movement under the tent during this day-long event.

Aside from the green theme, the festival also boasts a broad spectrum of activities and performances for the whole family — that includes your eccentric uncle who refuses to reuse, reduce or recycle his refuse. Activities include three musical stages, hundreds of arts and crafts vendors, plenty of food booths and — of course — a beer garden. As of press time, there is no word yet on the inclusion of the fabled green beer in this event.

The festival will take place on Abbot Kinney, between Main Street and Venice Boulevard. It will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free, but rides will cost you. Rides and games range in price from $1 to $5\. Group discounts are available. For more information, contact www.abbotkinney.org.
