The fair is organized by the San Mateo County Youth Commission's Environmental Protection Committee.

"The Fair is a gathering of environmentally conscious and friendly individuals, companies, and organizations," the organization says on its website. "Come for a day filled with vendors from all over the Bay Area featuring unique, recycled, refurbished, 'upcycled' and green products, food, and special finds."

Free "DIY" workshops will be held "in order to increase your ability to easily incorporate the environment into your life," and various groups and causes will host tables where the curious can wander, listen to music, purchase products, grab a bite to eat, and learn about environmental projects and efforts in the Bay Area. Raffle drawings will also take place.
