Green Day Out Festival

 •  • 

This coming Sunday, as part of ongoing World Environment Day celebrations, the Gold Coast will again be playing host to the region’s largest environmental festival, Green Day Out. Last year’s success means 2011 is set to be huge, with their Little Green Dress fashion competition taking centre stage. The competition will see fashion designers creating their pieces out of recycled, found and organic materials – all things we at Peppermint love! But it’s not just about fashion: there’ll be free live music, markets and a range of activities for the kiddies, including gardening, arts and crafts, and lots of cute Australian native animals!
