Event Details

On Sunday, September 21st from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. we will host an outdoor, Community Eco-Fair, to raise awareness about our changing climate in honor of Climate Preparedness Week and to celebrate the many Berkshire groups working towards social, economic, and environmental sustainability. 

Because September is also National Preparedness Month, we will provide guidance on making "Go Bags," to prepare you and your family for weather-related disasters, with the help of the Williamstown Police and Fire Departments and the Central-Western Massachusetts Red Cross.

You can also learn more about initiatives right here in Williamstown, including Energize Williamstown, the Town's Net Zero Plan, and the sustainable features of the new Fire Department building and our soon-to-be new neighbor, The Williams College Museum of Art.

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!  Food, live music, lawn games, a bouncy house and a seed bomb craft table.
