More information about the Mississippi Earthtones Festival can be found at www.facebook.com/ EarthtonesFestival. “One of the priorities of the Mississippi Earthtones Festival is to showcase our region’s environmental organizations and eco-friendly local businesses,” says Sara McGibany, event co-organizer and Executive Director of Alton Main Street. “In light of the Covid-19 pandemic and economic hardship over the past year, it’s especially important to us this year to uplift businesses that are working to create a more sustainable community. We encourage “green” businesses and organizations to apply to be a vendor at the festival, and invite the community to join us for an exciting day exploring the wide variety of locally-owned businesses on Broadway.” For more click: www.facebook.com/ EarthtonesFestival
