GreenFest Philly Recap

The GreenFest Philly event this past weekend was a success. We were blessed with great weather and huge crowds! There was food, music, fashion and even a wedding ceremony in addition to the over 100 exhibitors lining 4 city blocks along Philly’s South Street.

I shared a booth with Brian Phillips, the principal for interface studio architects LLC (ISA) and we were both overwhelmed by the turnout and interest in our small table of modern and green home design. We were so busy that we couldn’t leave the table from 11AM until 5:30PM, an hour and a half past the originally scheduled closing time. Luckily we were placed on the shady side of the street or we never would have made it without a few trips to The Foodery just two blocks away to keep our spirits going. There was a lot of interest in our new collaboration on postgreen stock homes and possibly our first few clients were found who are looking to be involved in the design of their own modern and green homes in Philadelphia.

The only regret we had was that we weren’t able to walk the streets to see what other exhibitors were there and might have to offer. From what I could see there were a lot of clothing, jewelry, plants and green building and home products.

Thanks to all who came out and to everyone who stopped by to say hi. I’ll post updates on stats from the event when they become available. Special thanks to JJ and the crew at Urban Green Partnership as well as all the volunteers for all of their hard work to make the day a success. We’re looking forward to next year’s GreenFest already.
