There are various activities at the festival that help you get involved with your local community and make a change. A few of these organizations include: Rock & Recycle and Rock The Vote. Rock & Recycle recruits volunteers to pick up trash and recyclables around the park and in exchange they earn a t-shirt. Rock The Vote helps attendees register to vote and makes sure they know when the next election is coming up. They also educate voters about why their vote matters and how expressing their voice is important in this changing world.
