Greening Bumbershoot

Our Commitment to Getting Greener!

For four decades Bumbershoot has strived to be a socially responsible and environmentally friendly Festival. As a uniquely urban event nestled in the Pacific Northwest, one of the nation’s greenest locales, Bumbershoot maintains a reputation as a trendsetter within the festival industry.

We are proud to work on these important aspects of the Festival and will announce new strategies as they’re confirmed. Together with your help, we can continue to make Bumbershoot one of the most sustainable festivals around.

What does Bumbershoot do? A lot! Read the links below for details on our reduction of waste, the reuse and recycling of Festival materials, our regional carbon offset program and a key component to sustainabilty: our community, including the Bumbershoot Gives Back program.
