Fair@Square is lighting up Melbourne’s Federation Square again this year with a long weekend packed full of events, markets and product showcases. Learn everything you need to know about all facets of sustainable living – from your super fund to your coffee beans! Kicking things off is a VIP evening and Ethical Enterprise Award Presentations Night hosted by a collection of familiar faces including Malcolm Rands (founder of Ecostore). Over the weekend, the Fair@Square Fashion Show will be popping up at six times and locations across the festival grounds, featuring a swathe of ethical labels from JETS swimwear to Pure Pod on parade. There’s also a packed performing arts program of music, dance and lots more, and last but certainly not least, an Exhibitors Showcase with stalls from all walks of life – health, lifestyle, food, publishing (including yours truly!) – united by their passion for sustainable living. If that’s a passion you also share and you’d like to attend the VIP Night and Awards Ceremony, we have two double passes to give away. Simply comment below letting us know which aspect of sustainable living you’re excited to learn more about! {Competition closes Wed, Nov 20th at 5pm. Entrants must be able to attend the event at 6pm, Nov 29th at Federation Square, Melbourne CBD}.
