Hoya Harvest Festival from the Earth Commons
The annual Hoya Harvest Festival is a celebration of the earth and the diversity of ways the Georgetown community is growing to nurture it. The fair features environment and sustainability initiatives across campus, fall-themed activities, reuse crafts and more.
Join the Earth Commons for food and drinks, music, art, crafts, and all things fall on the Hoya Harvest Garden (Regents Hall, Fourth Floor Patio), 4-6 PM on Friday, October 13th. Carve pumpkins, up-cycle button making, and learn about upcoming environment and sustainability initiatives around campus.
The Hoya Harvest Garden is creating a sense of shared responsibility around sustainable food systems by integrating farming spaces into the campus, generating food for the community, hands-on learning experiences, and dialogue around human impacts and food production.
