The Green Fair Folk Festival is Wednesday, August 5 from 4-8 PM!

The public is invited to join the Franciscan Sisters of Little Falls for a FREE family-friendly event that promotes a healthy and sustainable lifestyle on Wednesday, August 5th, from 4-8 p.m., on the west lawn of St. Francis Convent, Little Falls!

The Green Fair Folk Festival is a FREE family-friendly event that promotes a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. In 2025, they hosted over 30 exhibitors featuring organic foods, renewable energy, green building, recycled/green art, fashion, eco-gifts, earth-friendly products, holistic health and much more! 

Browse the exhibits and find earth-friendly products, “green” education, fair trade items, seasonal produce; observe the work of local artisans, all while listening to some amazing music. Bring your blankets or folding chairs, water bottles and enjoy a variety of entertainment featuring students and faculty from St. Francis Music Center and by a local talented group, The Brothers Tone.

This family-friendly event has activities for kids, including free face painting. Sign up for a tour of Sacred Heart Chapel; take a horse-drawn wagon ride through St. Francis campus grounds. Check out food vendors and enjoy a Franciscan peanut butter and jelly sandwich for $1.
