June 6, 2008 Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival

Just a few generations ago, Golden Gate Park (San Francisco, California) was nothing but sand dunes. Now that it’s become one of the most beautiful parks in the world and the festival site of the Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival. The three-day music festival on August 22, 23 & 24, 2008 is expected to draw about 110,000 people.

To help limit the festival’s impact on the park, the surrounding community, and the whole Bay Area, the following steps will be taken by the festival: • Composting and Recycling - Just about anything you can buy at Outside Lands will be either recyclable or compostable. • Solar Stage - The Outside Lands eco-village will feature a fully solar-powered stage, which will be hosting all kinds of activities throughout the day, including music, comedy, poetry, yoga classes, and more! • TRASHed Recycling Store - The Outside Lands Recycling Store will be stocked with items you can “buy” with empty bottles, cans, and biodegradable cups you pick up from around the festival grounds. • Cell phone recycling- Bring your old cell phones to the Recycling Store for additional prizes! Most cell phones will be refurbished and redistributed throughout other countries. Golden Gate Park, located in San Francisco, California, is a large urban park consisting of 1017 acres of public grounds. Configured as a rectangle, it is similar in shape but 174 acres larger than Central Park in New York, to which it is often compared. With 13 million visitors annually, Golden Gate is the third most visited city park in The United States (after Central Park and Lincoln Park in Chicago). The five acre Japanese tea garden (see photo) at Golden Gate Park is an immensely popular feature. 2008 Lineup
