The city's first large scale, eco-lifestyle music festival will take place in Veteran's Park on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009. The event will feature five bands, eclectic eats and promote environmental sustainability.
The artists will be announced next year, but the event management firm, LuLu Live, got the word out early to attract corporate sponsorships from environmentally-friendly local businesses.
A portion of the "Rock the Green" proceeds will go to the Urban Ecology Center and the Greater Johnsons Park Initiative, an urban green project.
"We are pleased to welcome the city's first eco-lifestyle festival 'Rock the Green' at Milwaukee County's Veterans Park," said Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker. "It will be a great chance to enjoy music and fun at the lakefront while learning more about the benefits of going 'green'."

That's not fair. It takes a LONG time to get these events organized. This is a terrific new event in a city full of events. It's not going to be just another music festival or special interest festival like the italiaprideirishfests we see every summer. This is a chance for Milwaukee to get direct exposure to the green movement in a fun atmosphere. People may want to get involved as volunteers or they may want to get engaged as sponsors or on a business level. If this announcement waited until next year, it would be too late. This should be incredible fun. It's good to have something like it to look forward to.

Could be a fun event. But ... uhm ... don't you think you jumped the gun a bit on this article? No offense, but it's over a year away. I think you could have released this story sometime in June of 2009.
