Sustainability
In addition to our Clean the River initiative, our friends at Coca-Cola have joined us in this effort. This year at Float Fest, we will aim to collect and recycle a bottle or can for every one sold and make 100% of our packaging recyclable.
Through a sustainable packaging strategy, we will create systemic change through a circular economy for all packaging – from how bottles and cans are designed and manufactured to how they’re recycled and reused.
Join us in making old bottles new again. Float Fest attendees can help us recycle and re-enjoy their favorite beverages by placing empty Coca-Cola product containers into recycling bins located throughout festival grounds. Thank You.
Medical
- Float Fest will have medical aid at the festival grounds in the designated areas.
- Please see our site map for first aid stations before arriving at the festival. We will also have directionals at the fest.
- Accidents can happen anywhere at any time, so please be prepared. We want you to be safe!
