In June 2024, we launched our inaugural #OutsideFestival in Denver. Along with creativity and inclusivity, sustainability was a core value of the event from day one. By nature, big live events have a hefty environmental impact and we were determined to not only minimize ours, but to capture deep data that would drive our efforts in the future. With the help of our incredible partner Green Disco we did just that. We’re proud to share the 2024 Outside Festival Impact Report, a comprehensive view of all that we accomplished and, importantly, where we can improve. Some key highlights: ♻️ We collected 9,450 pounds of waste and diverted 71% of it from the landfill through a rigorous recycling and composting program with our partner, Scraps. ♻️ We achieved a 91% reduction in fuel consumption and carbon emissions through hybrid battery systems. ♻️ We avoided 21,000+ single-use plastic water bottles through our hydration stations. ♻️ Through our partnerships with Ball Corporation and Liquid Death, and by working closely with all our food vendors on compostable serveware, we were a proud single-use plastic-free event. ♻️ We donated more than 650 meals to local nonprofits and people with food insecurity. A huge thank you to Green Disco, Groundswell Experiential, Scraps, and to our amazing volunteer Green Team for helping us get here. We also couldn’t have done it without the support, cooperation, and enthusiasm of all our vendors and partners who share our sustainability values and are committed to doing their part. We intend to keep pushing our efforts further in 2025. If your brand would like to be involved with Outside Festival 2025 and our sustainability efforts, please reach out. Let’s work together!

We can’t wait to show you what we’re creating. Colorado Outdoor Recreation Industry Office VISIT DENVER, The Convention & Visitors Bureau #outsidefestival #getoutside #outdoors
