Recycle Revival ROCKS Hatcher Pass!
Contributed by Lex Kerst
What is a “Recycle Revival” in the mountains, you might wonder? Although we don’t hold hands and chant, it’s a lively celebration of music and sustainability nestled in beautiful Hatcher Pass. To kick off summer, join us for an exhilarating day at the Recycle Revival music festival, showcasing local Alaskan bands: Feral Katz, The Robotz (formerly 3000-21), Denali Cooks, and The Jangle Bees!
In addition to the fantastic music, you can enjoy a silent auction filled with unique treasures, savor delicious food from local trucks, unwind in the beer garden, and take lift rides with stunning hikes back down. This is a family-friendly event, welcoming everyone!
As your recycling center, we are committed to reducing waste. We encourage attendees to bring reusable containers and sustainable straws for their beverages, along with a folding chair or blanket for comfort. Bring your own drinking vessel and receive a free sticker as a token of our gratitude. If you’re motivated, anyone is welcome to count the exclamation points in this article and turn the number into the VCRS office for a free sticker! Donations for the silent auction are welcome until May 25th at the VCRS office.
This year, the Recycle Revival is proudly sponsored by the Mat-Su Health Foundation, Make A Scene/95.5, ENSTAR, Martha Brookbank Real Estate, Aethereal Coffee, Hatcher Pass Painting, BEMA Restoration, Denali Refuse, and 203 Kombucha. Join these sponsors, supporters, volunteers, recyclers, and music lovers for just a $20 donation, ensuring a full day of fun while promoting recycling in Alaska!
