Celebrate SustainabilityGreenfest, presented by Consumers Energy, invites guests of all ages to explore how simple actions can support a healthier environment for people, animals and nature. It’s two days of hands-on learning, creative exploration and community connection that promises to spark curiosity.
Greenfest activities are located throughout the Zoo. All festival experiences are included with admission and free for members.
What to Expect:
Green Showcase & Mindfully Made Market
A pop-up marketplace lets you browse eco-friendly goods and chat with local makers. Meet local environmental organizations, learn about conservation work happening in our region and discover ways to support sustainability here in metro Detroit. Plus a lineup of sustainable-minded food trucks in the Main Picnic Grove.
Arts & Scraps Creation Stations
Young guests can enjoy free, hands-on projects using repurposed materials. Each activity turns creativity into a conversation about reuse and resourcefulness.
Drumline Experience
Follow the rhythm during your Greenfest visit — a drumline (with instruments made from upcycled materials) brings the celebration to life.
Hand-Painted Rain Barrel Raffle
Enter for a chance to take home a beautifully hand-painted rain barrel. Just show proof of a sustainable action, such as using a refillable bottle or choosing a low-waste commute.
Scoop-Your-Own Zoo Poo Compost Giveaway
Our community compost tradition is back! Collect nutrient-rich compost made from the animals who call the Zoo home. Please bring your own bucket.
Why It Matters
Your participation at Greenfest supports environmental resilience, reduces waste, strengthens local ecosystems and helps us ignite positive change for animals and nature — at the Zoo, at home, and across our shared planet.
