We are so excited to bring back Green Friday with @purebalboapark on Friday, November 24th!

Packaging, delivery/transport from online shopping, and overbuying unwanted and unnecessary items due to sales and deals all create increased emissions and trash. We created Green Friday to provide an alternative to Black Friday -- join us to support local, sustainable vendors this holiday season and spend time together with the community. - Sustainable vendors - Community partners - Seasonal brews - Local eats - Holiday food drive For more information visit: purebrewing.org Stay Connected on Facebook
