One Awesome Festival
It was incredibly empowering to see the folks who braved the weather to participate in conversations with changemakers, bring gear to be repaired, shop from vendors who care about environment, and show their support for the sustainability movement in the outdoor industry.

About the Festival
The Gear Again Festival is focused on the outdoor gear and apparel lifecycle.
The goal is to show the many opportunities for repair, upcycling, and recycling that are out there for outdoor gear and apparel at all stages of the gear's life, with a focus on zero-waste and landfill diversion.
Bring your loved gear to be repaired, recycled, consigned, or donated!
Plus learn more about the process and shop from vendors who embody sustainability in their businesses and their practices.
Looking for something new? Shop local vendors creating amazing upcycled gear!
Our vendor list includes representatives from the rental gear and sharing economy sector, gear repair services, brands engaging in upcycling, resale and consignment operators, recycling programs, nonprofit partners, government agencies, and more.
