“It’s important people start to realize that ecological development, nature restoration and sustainable lifestyle is also everyone’s personal responsibility.”

On Saturday March 23, YinYang Music Festival launches a special ecological development project: City Forest. Joining the goals of China National Tree Planting day, the electronic music festival is aiming to plant a small scale city forest in Tianjin City with sports and culture activities for youth. 

And they are not going to do it alone! Festival visitors, media, friends and students, anyone who cares about nature are invited to ‘get their hands dirty’, plant trees and celebrate nature on March 23: tree planting day & City Forest opening party.

Why does YinYang Music Festival invest in building a forest?
YinYang Music Festival wants to make a statement that everyone can actively participate in sustainable development and everyone should put effort to restore nature in China. It’s important people start to realize that ecological development, nature restoration and sustainable lifestyle is also everyone’s personal responsibility. Urban citizens in China are all longing for more nature and less pollution, well let’s do something about it instead of simply waiting for government action! 

How is the forest funded?
YinYang Music Festival decided to save 30RMB per festival ticket income to fund this YinYang forest project. The festival has promoted the ecology project since 2018, and finally the time is there! Besides the funding we cooperate with local government, Light, East China Normal University, China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation and MTD Landscape architects who all put a lot of effort to make this special forest project possible.

Why Tianjin city as location?
YinYang Music Festival takes place in Tianjin territory as we want to give back a healthy forest with sports, education and music activities for young people to the city that supports YinYang Music Festival since so many years.

What to expect about the Forest planting and opening party day?
We invite media, fans of YinYang Music festival, students and locals participate in the tree planting activities and have fun. You will plant trees, learn about local plant species, learn about the healing function of a forest on the earth and sky, play basketball, dance on music from DJs spinning funky electronic music and make new friends. On top of this there will be live graffiti art shows! Creating an incredible get together of nature, music and arts!  

Also, don't forget to catch the after-party at Zarah.
