Fostering intentional living.
Hosted by Energy Conservation Works, the Jackson EcoFair promotes and celebrates simple and sustainable living in the Tetons, empowering our community to embrace ecological stewardship through education, advocacy, and shared experiences. Focusing on clean energy, waste diversion, protecting wild spaces, and more - there is something for everyone at EcoFair.
Cultivating Resilience: A Journey from Local Roots to a Sustainable Future for Teton Communities
The Jackson EcoFair germinated over two decades ago as a grassroots initiative focused on simple mountain living. What began as a modest gathering at the Murie Center in Grand Teton National Park, sharing seeds and solar tips, has evolved into the region’s premier showcase for sustainable innovation. For years EcoFair has provided a platform for local businesses, organizations, and individuals to showcase sustainability initiatives against a backdrop of live music, local food and beverage, and hands-on workshops that celebrate our heritage of stewardship. Our history is woven into the very fabric of Jackson Hole—a legacy of honoring and protecting the wild ecosystem that sustains us.
Looking toward the future, we envision an EcoFair that will serve as a beacon for carbon-neutral community living. We see a future where every booth registration supports local green enterprise and every workshop empowers a home to be more efficient. By integrating artisanal craftsmanship with modern ecological science, we will continue to mold how we inhabit the Teton ecosystem. Our goal is to inspire a lifestyle that is as breathtaking as the peaks themselves—sustainable, vibrant, and deeply connected to the land.
Event host Energy Conservation Works (ECW) works towards this goal every day as they lead and engage with the community to make energy efficiency and renewable energy accessible and affordable.
