Fair to bring all things green to Ann Arbor's Main Street

Main Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from East Huron to East William streets for the event.

A special section of environmental leaders will showcase more than 50 nonprofit organizations, government agencies and businesses that have earned a Waste Knot partner designation from Washtenaw County.

There will be informational materials on how to live “green,” crafts and two stages of musicians. Vendors on Washington Avenue near Main Street will be selling organic foodstuffs.

A Clean Energy Expo will highlight innovative energy-saving designs with displays of vehicles that run on alternative fuel, green building materials and solar and renewable energy installations.

Sustainable transportation choices like Ann Arbor Transit Authority’s buses to Zipcars, bikes and a conference bike will be on display.

The mayor’s office is searching for volunteers to help with set up and tear down of the fair. Call 734-794-6161, ext. 41602, for more information and to sign up.
