Marketplace & Talks at Conscious Festival 2019

The Conscious Festival by Green Is The New Black is returning to Singapore on 2 - 3 November 2019. The 5th edition will take place at South Beach Avenue.

The zero waste and vegan event offers markets, food, music, talks and workshops over two days to empower the local community to take positive actions to leave the world a better place while connecting with ourselves, others and mother nature.   

Conscious Festival’s fifth edition features music as well as heaps of interactive events at south Beach Avenue.

The festival welcomes professionals, individuals, families and little green warriors in the making who want to live more consciously and unites them under one roof with the mantra that together, we can do more with less and reduce our collective footprint on the planet.

Its marketplace has grown to feature more than 100 mindful eco-brands, transformative talks, delicious and healthy eats, organic alcohol, interactive art, and games with a purpose.

The partnership with South Beach Avenue cements South Beach as one of Singapore's most sustainable and environmentally-friendly development, having just recently accorded 2019 winner of Energy Efficient Award - New and Existing Building category of the ASEAN Energy Award.  

This year's iteration in Singapore featured 50 speakers, 70 local brands and various workshops and activities for people of all ages to enjoy. Participants are encouraged to use the hashtag #LiveMoreConsciously to empower individuals to promote sustainable living through a mindful MARKETPLACE (free entry) and transformational TALKS (ticketed).
