EarthFest Singapore celebrates the first comprehensive sustainability festival in Singapore and takes place on September 26, 2015. The event is a collaboration between many different businesses and organisations in Singapore with the purpose of encouraging sustainability. Basically the event has components of a Food festival - as an international food fair of foods with lower environmental footprints, a farmer's market and bazaar (a mix of organic / non-organic foods) and a Music festival which features live music from local talent, Edutainment is covered with a carnival with environmentally themed educational games. It also includes a documentary screening of The End of the Line: How Overfishing Is Changing the World and What We Eat and talks and is a low-waste festival, incorporating elements of the circular and sharing economies. The event will be held at Marina Barrage and free tickets are available.[1][2][3][4][5]
