Event Information

WHAT:
For more than 100,000 Minnesotans over the last eight years, the Living Green Expo has become an annual spring tradition and the place to learn about the latest in healthy and sustainable living. The family-friendly event is one of the largest and most successful green events of its kind. It also is the largest zero-waste event in the state.

New this year is a focus to help attendees find easy ways to make manageable changes to live healthier and more sustainably. Fresh elements include increased expert involvement to answer questions and help build personal goals, a series of Eco-lounges that discuss issues and green topics, a marketplace with Eco-Artists and local farmers, more than double the local food options and a Gubernatorial Forum that lets attendees hear candidate views on clean water and clean energy.

Featuring more than 250 local exhibitors, workshops, demonstrations, and activities for the family, the event helps people:

  • Green the Home
  • Grow a Green Thumb
  • Explore Transportation Options
  • Eat Healthy and Sustainably
  • Save Energy and Money
  • Learn About Green Building
  • Protect and Enjoy the Great Outdoors
  • Invest in a Green Future

    NEW LEADERSHIP:
    Minnesota Environmental Partnership (MEP) hosts this year’s Living Green Expo. The 80-organization, environment-focused nonprofit stepped in to put the event back on the calendar after state budget cuts last fall canceled the 9th annual Expo. This is just one example of how the MEP takes a leadership role collaborating with environmental organizations to help Minnesotans protect and defend our state’s great outdoors legacy. The Expo was previously produced by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
