Green Fest LogoA massive thunderstorm washed out the Atlanta GREEN Fest back in June, so it’s been rescheduled for Aug. 2 from noon to 8 p.m. in Grant Park. The event focuses on living sustainably, health and fitness.

This festival will feature musical performances by Che’Zee, The Remnant, Kelsy Davis, Jah Richie and host Dres Tha Beatnik.

There will also be an interactive fitness demonstration area by Body House Fitness, free health screenings, a business street market, community outreach and education, a story corner presented by Atlanta-Fulton County Libraries, water gun fights, and a kid zone with old school yard games.

The event is presented by Fight4ATL, an initiative that promotes an eco-friendly, healthy lifestyle. Fore more information, visit fight4atl.com.
