Green Festival New York
FestivalBuzz just got the paper version of the Green Festival's program, but you can check it out on their website . Just click on "schedules" to see the break down by stage or area of the venue. Just below, click "Event Guide" to get a digital version of the printed event guide.
Green is not the only theme. Activism is also healthily represented in the program, with talks on Occupying Wall Street to Urban Gardening to eating healthfully using food stamps. Lots of green/natural/organic food and personal products are on display at the booths on the floor. The festival tries to be zero-emissions itself, and invites attendees to bring their own utensils as well as cell phones and batteries to recycle.
If you want to make a good impact on the environment but don't know how, this might be a good place to start. And yes, there will be music!
When: April 21-22, 2012
Where: Javits Center North (11th Ave btw 39th & 40th Streets)

Anarchist Book Fair 2012
The bilingual website for this event states "The goal of the book fair is to enable people to connect with one another as well as to provide broader access to the rich and varied field of anarchist ideas and practices."

When: April 14-15th
Where: Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South

New York City Auto Show Returns
IT's BAAAAACCKCKCKCKCK!
The mecca for all things auto returns to the Javits Center to cap off (or start off, however you look at it) another car model year. Tour every recognizable auto label from Ford to Maybach to Porsche and Lamborghini. Learn new things about cars and check out the concept cars (the most interesting part in FB's book) to get a glimpse of when the base model will drive itself and the in-dash robot can brew your favorite coffee blend. Tickets, as always, are required, but it's a good distraction for the Spring Break week, especially now that Ringling Bros. Circus is not making its annual stop.
