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.
