- The Greentopia Festival, presented by Monroe Community College, was Rochester and the Finger Lakes' celebration of the green movement. The interactive festival was designed to exhibit what the region is doing to help the environment and explore healthier ways of living as individuals and as a community. Businesses and organizations showcased their products and programs designed to promote sustainability. Everything at the festival that could be recycled was recycled, including plastic utensils, napkins, and food scraps. Incentives were provided to attendees arriving in green modes of transportation. Greentopia was first held as a two-day festival in the High Falls District in 2011.
