Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 25th, from 10 am - 3 pm on Cross Main Street in downtown Springfield, KY, for New Pioneers' annual Green Festival! This year marks the 17th anniversary of celebrating sustainability at our one-of-a-kind festival through live music, activities, demonstrations, AND more.
You won't want to miss this family-friendly day of fun. From live animals and local plants to sustainable exhibits and green vendors, there's something for everyone!

New Pioneers is excited to bring back the beloved Nature Photo Contest to Green Festival this year! We're now accepting photography and artwork submissions of the natural world from all ages and skill levels. Learn more here.
Submissions are due by Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026. Winners will be announced at Green Festival on Saturday, April 25th.
Are you interested in supporting Green Festival? We're seeking volunteers before, during, and after the event to ensure its success!
We are excited to once again invite environmental exhibitors, food vendors, and entertainment to participate in this festival - with a NEW addition! We are eager to also invite “sustainable vendors” to sell handmade, home-crafted, and/or locally sourced goods at our 2026 date.
