Events › Go Green Fair

Join us for a fun-filled afternoon celebrating Summer at CPL for Adults at the Go Green Fair! Learn about job and workforce development opportunities from local organizations at the Job Fair in the South Hall and learn about ways to get involved with local eco-friendly volunteer organizations at the Volunteer Fair in the Winter Garden. 

Spend some time listening to live music from Old Town School of Folk Music, create a floral bouquet with Vivant Gardens, take part in some sustainable crafting with the Chicago Fair Trade Museum and meet the incredible Summer at CPL artist Katie Lukes! 

Attendees will receive special summer swag unique to this event (while supplies last) and learn about the exciting nature-related programming we have for this year's Summer at CPL for Adults! Job Fair attendees will receive additional materials to help them in their job search.
