How does BottleRock support sustainability?

BottleRock Napa Valley takes sustainability seriously, implementing measures to reduce its environmental footprint during the May 23-25, 2025, event. Recycling stations are placed throughout the Napa Valley Expo, with clear signage for sorting trash, compost, and recyclables like plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Attendees are encouraged to use these bins to keep waste out of landfills, and staff monitor to ensure proper disposal.

The festival partners with local organizations to promote green practices, such as using compostable food containers and utensils at vendor stalls. Water refill stations cut down on single-use plastic, so bring a reusable bottle to fill up for free. Energy-wise, stages and lighting often run on efficient systems, and some years feature solar-powered elements, depending on vendor setups.

Transportation initiatives also play a role, shuttles and bike parking options reduce car use, easing traffic and emissions around Napa. Organizers share these efforts on the website, encouraging attendees to join in by carpooling or using public transit. It’s a collective push to keep the festival eco-conscious while preserving Napa’s natural beauty.
