Ecofest Barrie is proud to support the on-going programs of Back to Basics Social Developments, a local not for profit organization dedicated to the education of our youth.
Working collaboratively as a community to celebrate our earth and to offer a message of new possibilities and alternate lifestyles.
The message of a cleaner, healthier and longer lasting Earth is best carried through the diversity of music, art, and cultural expression. In this way, history must repeat itself.

Welcome to Ecofest 2012!
On behalf of City Council I welcome you to the 2012 Ecofest!
There is a growing awareness in our community and around the world about how our daily practices are shaping the planet
