Welcome to Exhibitors
 Last year Charleston Green Fair hosted over 5000 eco-minded citizens at their Marion Square Main Event. Our goal continues to be providing education and enlightenment to the residents of the Lowcountry while promoting the local green businesses of South Carolina. We are proud of the fact that 80% of our exhibitors and non-profits were small local organizations and we look forward to continuing that tradition in 2009.
“ It was great to see people wander through the non-profit tent and be actually interested in what it is we are doing. We are asked to do so many things like this and so often it feels like we are just a fixture. I was so energized by the crowd and all the great things that are starting to come together here in Charleston.” Jamee Haley, Lowcountry Local First
