Saturday, September 26 – 10am – 2pm – FREE Admission!
The Sustainable Living Expo is a celebration of simple, practical ways to live well, centered around two key ideas: embracing a circular economy and making the most of local resources.
Rooted in the concept of a circular economy, the event highlights how we can keep items in use for as long as possible—by sharing, repairing, reusing, and repurposing instead of throwing things away. At the same time, it encourages us to look closer to home: supporting local growers and makers, using nearby services, and building stronger community connections.
Sustainable living isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about making small, meaningful changes, one step at a time.
From fixing a broken appliance, to shopping second-hand, to choosing locally sourced products, these everyday decisions help reduce waste, save money, and strengthen our community.
In addition to the vendor hall, the Expo will feature workshops, a clothing swap, and fun activities for all ages.
At its heart, this event is about rediscovering the value of what we already have and exploring how local knowledge, skills, and resources can support a more connected and resilient way of living. Whether you’re curious about repairing, growing your own food, or simply reducing everyday waste, you’ll find inspiration and practical ideas to take home.
