All ages are invited to become part of the Green Man Festival, for a two month long exhibit at the New Deal Cafe during May and June, 2012.
Each year the Green Man Festival has selected an image of the Green Man and a Poem about our relationship with Nature to create the posters, ads and T-shirts for the event. This year's festival theme is "Finding Common Ground" and we invite all of you to tap into the memories of gardens and wild places you have known to create your own image of the Green Man as a portrait or as a poem, or both. All T-shirt entries will be considered for the Green Man exhibit at the New Deal Café during the month of May and June.

Come join us rain or shine for two days of music, vendors, crafts, environmental awareness, food, and fun in beautiful downtown Greenbelt, Maryland.
Greenbelt's Seventh Annual Green Man Festival is a celebration of Greenbelt's commitment to preserve its acres of forests and to honor this green Earth by choosing wisely and acting locally.
Festival activities will reconnect us to the folklore of ancient civilizations through science, art, music and myth by featuring many local artists, musicians and performers from Maryland as well as other parts of the country.
The Green Man Festival became a project of CHEARS in 2008. CHEARS, the Chesapeake Education, Arts and Research Society, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the health of all who share the Chesapeake watershed environment. For more information go to the CHEARS website.
