Riverfest Limerick 2025 is committed to delivering an exceptional experience while minimising our environmental footprint.
Building upon the sustainable initiatives introduced in previous years, we are excited to implement the following measures:
Sustainability Highlights:
- Zero-Waste Practices
Riverfest Limerick is establishing waste segregation stations across the festival locations. These stations will facilitate the sorting of general waste, recyclables, and compostables, ensuring that materials are disposed of responsibly. Trained staff will be available to assist attendees in proper waste disposal, aiming to divert waste from landfills. - Eco-Friendly Travel
Recognising the environmental impact of transportation, we encourage attendees to utilise public transport options to reach the festival. Opting for buses, trains, or carpooling helps reduce carbon emissions associated with individual car use. - Digital Event Materials
To minimise paper usage, all event maps, schedules, and information are available digitally. Attendees can download the Riverfest Limerick 2025 Events Map to navigate the festivities. - Green Vendors
Food vendors are encouraged to offer locally sourced, organic, and plant-based food options, reducing the carbon footprint associated with food production and transportation.
Limerick City and County Council has secured the services of a sustainability auditor who will report on various aspects of the festival, including waste management, energy use, and the overall carbon footprint. These efforts align perfectly with Limerick's Climate Action Week, which runs from April 28th to May 5th, reinforcing Limerick’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
