This year the Ojai Music Festival is greening its time-honored annual event by minimizing landfill waste and the use of fossil fuels while promoting environmentally friendly actions. Now in its 62nd year, the Festival is selecting foods and merchandise produced with minimal environmental impact by local farmers and merchants.
Part of the plan is a “Green Team” of about 10 volunteers of all ages per concert session. In return for your participation, you’ll receive a concert T-shirt and pair of concert tickets. The Festival needs folks in three areas:
• to operate the Zero Waste Stations, assisting concertgoers in sorting their trash into the appropriate bins
• to fill and refill concertgoers’ water bottles for free at the Water Stations
• to serve as valets at the free, gated Bike and Stroller Valet Area
For the Zero Waste Stations, the shift hours will be:
6/5, Thurs., 4-6 p.m. set-up
6/5, Thurs., 7 p.m. -10 p.m. (You’ll get to listen to the concert, as there will be no activity during performances—only before, during intermission, and after)
6/6, Fri., 7 p.m. -10 p.m.
6/7, Sat., 10 p.m. – 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. - 10 p.m.
6/8, Sun., 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. -8 p.m.
6/8, Sun., 8 p.m. - 10 p.m. breakdown
The shifts for the Water Stations and the Bike and Stroller Valet Area will be the same, but will start and end a half hour earlier.
