ANNUAL EVENTS

Come to TEAC's Eco-Fair!

The Tarrytown Environmental Advisory Council (TEAC) and the Village of Tarrytown are hosting our annual Eco Fair on October 5, 2019 at Patriots Park from 8:30am to 2pm to take place during the TaSH Farmers Market. 

Come learn about reducing your Carbon Footprint, Composting, Food Scraps Recycling, Home Energy Savings, Healthy Lawns, Pollinators Pathways, Native Plants, Complete Streets, local waterways and more.  There will be something for the whole family including kids activities, games, live music, and fresh local food vendors at the lively farmers market! This will be a Zero-Waste event. 

The Eco Fair brings together community organizations and local businesses to educate and share ideas to enrich our Villages and enhance the environment. It is an opportunity for community members to increase awareness and engage on environmental issues. The goal is to highlight things that we can all do at home and in our own neighborhoods.
