The Monterey Music Summit planned to increase steps made last year on areas such as waste diversion, vendor product usage and supporting local and sustainable industries. Bottle water sales were to be replaced with Nalgene bottles offering free filtered water stations. In 2007, 1,140 plastic water bottles were diverted. All service ware was to be 100% biodegradable and waste diversion continued to be a priority. Local food and sustainable industries continued to be a main focus through backstage catering and event demonstrations.
Over 30 performances to occur over three stages, offering attendees everything from regional favorites to international icons of pop, rock, folk and world music. Spoken word presentations, performance art and a drumming circle to complement some of the more intimate venues throughout the weekend.
