The Greentopia Festival, presented by Monroe Community College, is Rochester and the Finger Lakes' celebration of the green movement. The two-day interactive festival is designed to exhibit what the region is doing to help the environment and explore healthier ways of living as individuals and as a community. Businesses and organizations will showcase their products and programs designed to promote sustainability.

Everything at the festival that can be recycled will be recycled, including plastic utensils, napkins, and food scraps. Incentives will also be provided to attendees arriving in green modes of transportation.

Located in the High Falls District, Greentopia will be the first large-scale green festival ever held in Greater Rochester.

"Join us at Rochester’s sustainability celebration to explore green living, Rochester style. It’s a two-day “World’s Fair” of inspiration through art, music, ideas and activism. You’ll hear visionary speakers and meet well-known authors. Through how-to workshops and cutting-edge films, you’ll learn about big green ideas and how to apply them creatively in everyday life. There will be unusual family activities, community recycled art installations, mouthwatering organic and local food and beverages, and all kinds of live music."
