Organic Festivals

Hi everyone,

We are so excited to have opened the 2023 Green Bambini Awards. We are going to publish several blogs in the coming weeks on the topics of environmentally-friendly baby products and the importance of sustainable and ecological choices when we’re making our purchasing choices as a family! 

I’ve recently been looking at upcoming green and organic festivals which are a great place to meet like-minded people, buy quality baby goods and learn more about the latest products on the market! Today I want to give you a snapshot of events coming up in the next month!
