Building on the outstanding success of its inaugural year, ROTHBURY once again harnesses the unique 21st century American festival spirit to create an event unlike any other. With music at its core, ROTHBURY continues its mission to create a state-of-the-art large scale sustainable event and to organize and nurture community involvement that makes a difference. ROTHBURY is a huge party with a purpose.
ROTHBURY’s bold social and environmental mission continues to manifest in 2009, building on last year’s topic of Climate Change and Clean Energy Solutions. Within the festival, look for expanded ROTHBURY Think Tank activities and even more cutting-edge festival implementation of ever-changing technologies in the quest for energy independence. Beyond the festival, via innovative community projects and local partnerships, ROTHBURY 09 offers increased involvement opportunities to make a positive impact locally, nationally, and globally.
As ROTHBURY Producer Jeremy Stein explains, “ROTHBURY is proud to host a community of conscious and involved fans who strive for a better future. We’re also extremely grateful for the support of our local neighbors and the greater Michigan community. Together – we’re raising the bar.”
Indeed, such unparalleled community support and involvement led to huge successes for ROTHBURY’s 2008 philanthropic programs and on-site environmental festival initiatives. Such initiatives included ROTHBURY’s Music in Schools Program, ROTHBURY’s Solar Schools Program, the ROTHBURY Food Drive and The Conscious Alliance Can Sculpture, and ROTHBURY’s Greening and Sustainability Initiatives.
