Bring your plastic bag or bottle to be recycled at the festival for a free ticket thanks to H-E-B’s commitment to recycling. Guests will enjoy an upcycled marketplace with vendors, sustainable trade show and native plants for sale. Sky King’s Falconry offers three shows, 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. at ReFest. They will introduce vultures and other birds of prey, including a residential Crested Caracara, in the falcon family who behave similar to vultures in consuming carcasses.

The presence of Nature’s Clean Up Crew supports biodiversity and enhances ecosystem resilience which all life is dependent on.
