Less than a month to Green Port Fest

On October 2 the Port of Long Beach will host Green Port Fest 2010 from 10 am to 3 pm. There'll be narrated boat tours and Metrolink excursions on land through cargo shipping terminals. New this year is the Wyland Living Green Fair, which includes the opportunity to paint a mural with the artist. Parking will be free at the Long Beach Convention Center with shuttles to the port.

Green Port Fest by land and sea

This year's Green Port Fest on October 3 will be offering boat tours, train excursions and even a couple of bicycle jaunts. The event lasts from 10 am to 3 pm. The 45 minute boat tours cruising past massive cargo ships and frolicking sea lions launch every 15 minutes. The trains giving close up looks at the cargo terminals run every hour on the half hour. The bike excursions will follow a proposed trail from downtown to the heart of the port. They're scheduled for 11:30 and 1 pm. There will be musicians and dancers performing on the main stage as well as street performers like jugglers and stilt walkers.
