EINPresswire/ -- HBCU Green Fund’s GreenFest 2025, a free, family-friendly celebration of music, culture, and sustainability, will mark the organization’s 10th anniversary by honoring five Environmental Champions. The festival also introduces neighbors to Truly Living Well Farm, Atlanta’s premier teaching farm, with live music, a silent disco, local vendors and artists, and kids’ activities including a petting zoo, electric school bus, puppet show, and face painting.
