The Whole Earth Festival 2002!

Saturday, April 20th and Sunday, April 21st, 2002!

11:00 am - 6:00 pm both days

Lake Balboa, 6300 Balboa Boulevard, Van Nuys,

1 mile North of the Ventura Freeway, 1 mile west of the San Diego Freeway.

Looks like a new Earth Day festival is coming to the area. Lots of special guests (see web page).

Lake Balboa is a very pretty park but a bit warm in the summer. It is also usually very busy on the weekends so this event will make it even busier. I would recommend parking somewhere else in the park and using the bike path to get to the lake. There is usually extra parking off of Woodley Avenue, by the driving range.

P.S.

Our friend, Jo Ann, adds the following first person info on last years event...

We went to this last year (heard guest speakers actor Woody Harrelson and
author John Robbins "Diet For a New America" - both very informative about
ecology and nutrition) and tasted the various veggie treats and explored the
newfangled eco-inventions ... had a great time.

As with any outing, wear your hat, and your SPF 15, and maybe have a bottle
of water with you. We know some of the musicians coming to play and they're
awesome. The kids will enjoy Peter Alsop at the Kids' Tent on Sun. 11:45am.
Highly recommended!
