Background

The Radio 92.9 EarthFest concert is a free music festival that is hosted yearly on the Esplanade in downtown Boston, MA. The concert was created to demonstrate how everyday individuals can reduce their environmental impact. The concert is supported by a variety of sponsors such as Whole Foods Market, The Home Depot, and Subaru. These sponsors, along with the 51 other sponsors,[1] set up booths and offer free items to promote their products and demonstrate to concert attendees how their products will aid both the individual, and the environment as a whole. The Radio 92.9 EarthFest concert will celebrate its 18th event on May 21, 2011.[2] Along with the main outdoor stage on the Hatch Shell[3], the concert offers two smaller stages to offer concert go-ers a wide variety of musical performers. Notable performers in years past have been KT Tunstall, The Fray, Los Lonely Boys, and Shawn Mullins. Each year the concert will host 14 bands that range from locally to nationally known.
