Renew Fest

Renew Fest is a pioneering ZERO WASTE festival for ecological, economic and social renewal! Crowdfunding for a regenerative future.

Renew Fest is a pioneering waste free festival celebrating collaborative action and the power of community to crowd-fund the implementation of innovative sustainability projects. In 2016 we saw wonderful success of this festivals inaugural event, exceeding all expectations, with over 2000 attendants and celebrating a history making record with our first mass action of next to ZERO waste for the whole festival!

Being a fundraiser, Renew Fest is the first Australian sustainability festival of its kind, with all proceeds of 2017 invested in community owned sustainable development projects run by COREM.

Renew Festival 2017 has grown to a 2 day festival with 6 major themes. This has been prompted by community support and readiness. The 2017 themes are:
Renewable Energy, Our Food, Nature's Biodiversity, Humanity Renewal, Human Habitat & Ethical Economics.

For widespread change to occur it is imperative that local communities learn at a grassroots level about these major areas of our society and how they are intrinsically interrelated, and the importance of collaborative action.

Accompanying the keynote speakers, presentations from industry professionals, panels and QnA discussions will be information stalls, workshops, indigenous wisdom, youth and childrens programs, food, art, music and live performances.

This is a festival for the whole family, appealing to a wide range of people and catering to the interests of a large and diverse local, national and international crowd.

Renew Fest 2017 is a ticketed event running from 10am till 10pm on Saturday May 6th and 10am till 7pm on Sunday May 7th.
