The Ithaca Festival Board of Directors recently held their annual public meeting on September 6, 2024. Following a petition by a local twelve-year-old named Leo, the board is seeking to reduce the event’s carbon footprint. They stated their plans to replace gas-powered cars and trucks used in the parade with electric vehicles. The meeting also included discussion about several changes needed to support local artists and vendors.
