This Saturday: City of Aurora Hosts 2026 Aurora GreenFest!
2026 Aurora GreenFest
The City of Aurora, in partnership with the Mayor’s Sustainable Aurora Advisory Board and Aurora GreenLights, an affiliate of The Conservation Foundation, will celebrate the return of Aurora GreenFest on Saturday, May 2 from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. at 18 West Benton Street.
The free, family-friendly event, which is returning following a one-year hiatus, will be bigger and better than ever, as over 100 exhibitors will be on hand, helping festival goers to learn more about energy efficiency and saving the planet.
This year’s theme “Make a Difference! Be Energy Smart!” will be on full display throughout the festival, as special exhibits will provide community members with resources about how to save energy in homes, information about rebates for household items, and “do it yourself” project demonstrations.
Organizations such as the Chicago Herpetological Society and Fox Valley Electric Auto Association will be in attendance, educating individuals on wildlife conservation efforts and the benefits of driving an electric vehicle, respectively. The community marketplace, a staple of the festival, will also return, featuring a number of vendors providing products that can make homes more beautiful, healthy, and energy efficient.
