Greenbelt Festival is somewhere artistry meets activism, where the political meets the practical. We’re somewhere to come together once a year, where we’re as likely to dream up a better world as we are to dance and debate, to pray and to party. 

We were founded a long time ago by a bunch of misfits in a field. We’re still in a field. And we’re still somewhere that welcomes anyone and everyone. 

Hope is a practice. It’s something we make together, in the fields. Hope has been in the making at Greenbelt for more than a half-century, and it’s our theme for this year’s festival. We choose to roll up our sleeves, open our hearts and be reminded that, together, we can be the change we want to see in the world. We’d love you to join us.

Challenging the status quo isn’t easy. We work to make each Greenbelt more environmentally friendly than the last. But we’re on a journey and there’s still a long way to go. Come with us as we try to tread as lightly as possible on this good earth as we make the festival each year.
