Sustainable Ballard’s fall festival is nearly here!
Come talk to us about tools… and enjoy games and c***r and talk edible plants and clothing swaps and puzzle exchanges … all in one space!

One big day where the whole neighborhood comes together. The Sustainable Ballard Festival fills Loyal Heights Community Center Lawn with hands-on booths, live music, local food, and every project we run — a free celebration of the community we build all year long.
