Background
The Radio 92.9 EarthFest concert was a free music festival that was hosted yearly on the Esplanade in downtown Boston, MA. The concert was created to demonstrate how everyday individuals can reduce their environmental impact. The concert was supported by a variety of sponsors such as Whole Foods Market, Subaru, MetroPCS, and Boston Globe. These sponsors, along with the 51 other sponsors,[2] set up booths and offered free items to promote their products and demonstrated to concert attendees how their products could aid both the individual, and the environment as a whole. The Radio 92.9 EarthFest concert celebrated its 23rd and final[1] event on Saturday May 21, 2016.[3] Along with the main outdoor stage on the Hatch Shell, EarthFest offered a smaller stage in an area known as Kid's Planet, which was set up for families and a younger audience. Notable performers in years past have been KT Tunstall, The Fray, Los Lonely Boys, and Shawn Mullins. Each year the concert was hosting 14 bands that range from locally to nationally known. In 2012, the Earthfest Audience was estimated to be over 200,000 people by state police.
