Vendors and activities on Holden Street (rain location: Hotel Downstreet) will include a dance party with DJ Forrest Fleur, the DIY Clean Queen Station to learn everyday eco-cleaning hacks, a community art project, a barter booth, and a repair booth. Local organizations working on environmental justice will also be present, including Hoosic River Revival, Greylock Together, and Beetle Buds Native Gardens.
