Newcomers to the Fishers area might ask, “What is the Fishers Freedom Festival”? But those of you who have attended might agree that it is as close to Uncle Sam and homemade apple pie as you can get. The annual Fishers Freedom Festival, which offers multiple activities, events and food for all ages is held at the Roy G. Holland Memorial Park (1 Park Drive) off Holland Drive & Ellipse Parkway in Fishers. This free event offers fine arts & crafts, food & business vendors, live music, 5K walk/run, K-9 demonstrations, children’s tent, teen tent, street dance, children’s parade, main parade, fireworks and much more to the 60,000 attendees who come from all over the U.S. each year. The Festival occurs annually on the last Saturday & Sunday in June. It kicks off on Saturday morning with the 5K Walk/Run. The public may park at Holland Park at a small cost per vehicle. Free parking is available at Town of Fishers Municipal Complex with a free shuttle running approximately every 15 minutes during Festival hours. Even though the event is at no charge, the Festival encourages participants to donate canned foods, baby food, nonperishable goods, disposable diapers, cleaning supplies, school supplies and/or toiletries for admittance. These items go to various non-profits organizations such as Third Phase, the Festival’s “Roy Holland Backpacks for Kids” program and the Good Samaritan program of Hamilton County. The Festival also accepts donations year-round of items to be used in the Children’s Tent for different crafts. Those items include buttons and clean baby-food jars with lids; please remove the labels. In 1989, the founders of the Fishers Parade and Festival decided to have a community gathering to celebrate Independence Day. With the help of volunteers, the event originated as a one-day community picnic, parade and a few games for the children. Due to the overwhelming participation by the public, this event grew to its present two-day event status. The Fishers Parade and Festival was incorporated, as a private not-for-profit volunteer corporation in 1991. In 1998, Fishers Parade and Festival Inc. d.b.a. Fishers Freedom Festival became a 501C-3 charitable private not-for-profit volunteer corporation. Responsibility for the Festival is in the capable hands of Jennifer Kehl, as Executive Director, and 40 volunteers who serve as event coordinators, co-coordinators and currently has a five member Executive Board of Directors. During the actual Festival weekend an additional 250 or more volunteers are hard at work. Many committee members donate up to thirty hours per week for at least three or more months of the year to make the Festival a success. Several other committee members donate time during the entire year to provide the community with a safe and fun-filled family-oriented weekend with a strong Americanism flavor.

The Charter calls on people, communities and nations to apply principles that ensure care for the community of life, ecological integrity, social and economic justice, democracy, non-violence, and peace. The Charter is called a “Declaration of Inter-Dependence.” Earth Charter initiatives are active around the globe with over 30 Earth Charter communities in the US. For more information visit www.earthcharterus.org and www.earthcharter.org. The first Earth Charter Momentum Conference is devoted to skills and plans to support your vision for “sustainable” community. Sustainability is the creation of systems of sustainable activities that work for all people economically, socially, and environmentally. We already have the information and technology to create sustainability and to transform our ways of life to be gentler on the earth and to each other. The Momentum Conference is for people of all ages and experience who share an affinity for the Earth Charter by virtue of their work for environmental protection, non-violence, economic and social justice, and government that is accessible and participatory. Speakers include:
The event features a distinguished panel to discuss “Business Incentives to go green in Indiana” The purpose is to educate event attendees about governmental incentives that are available on the federal, state, and local levels for energy efficiency projects; as well as automobile-related incentives: ethanol, bio fuels, and hybrids.

Moreover, the event has dedicated two hours after the panel discussion, for participants to engage in “green networking”.
