The Echo Project is a 3-day eco-friendly music & arts festival to be held on 350-acres of scenic Chattahoochee river front property on a privately owned 1250-acre farm just south of metropolitan Atlanta. The event has a mission to revolutionize how music and arts events affect our environment through eco-friendly event production by ways of carbon emissions, power consumption and creation, alternative energy sources, and waste management and recycling initiatives. Along with Sustainable Waves and Rivers Alive, The Echo Project is also launching a major Chattahoochee river clean up prior to the festival.
