Want to have some fun this weekend AND learn a thing or two? The sixth annual Sustainable Ballard Festival is this coming Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

First, Undrive to get there, which means that if you can avoid using fossil fuel to attend, awesome! Bus, bike, walk or carpool. Once you arrive, well, there are so many options! You can attend a cooking demo, see how to make cheese at home, learn about solar hot water options, watch a demonstration on designing your vegetable garden, listen to music, grab a delicious local snack and visit chickens and goats in the Urban Farm Zone.

And that’s only a few of the activities available with great stuff for kids, too!

Oh, did I mention the price? FREE, free, free.

Hours are noon to 5 p.m. each day. And, you are welcome to bring your own plate, cup and cutlery to cut down on trash while eating at the festival. If you come before 3 p.m. on Sunday be sure to say hello to me at the Urban Farm Zone.

See you there!
