Santa Monica Festival Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Go green at the 19th annual Santa Monica Festival, a celebration of all things environmental, including interactive workshops, musical performances and a "living library," courtesy the Santa Monica Public Library, wherein actual humans posing as books answer your questions about life, the universe and everything. (Books you can "check out" for 30-minute chats include Fat Activist, Ex Gang Member and Homeless Advocate.) Performers set to rock your environmentally friendly socks: Latin/African combo Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca, Clarita and the Arte Flamenco Dance Theatre, and Living Sisters a.k.a. Becky Stark, Eleni Mandell and Alex Lilly, plus a Gaelic Gathering's traditional Irish reels, jigs and hornpipes. The "zero-waste festival" comes complete with a complimentary bicycle valet, a raffle for a brand new bike, and master of ceremonies Boise Thomas, host of Alter Eco on Discovery's spinoff channel Planet Green. Clover Park, 2600 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica; Sat., May 8, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; free. (310) 458-8350, smgov.net/arts. (Originally published in L.A. Weekly, May 7, 2010.)
