The brains behind this program are ethically conscious.

You know that an event is serious about its ethics when its slogan is happiness and compromise. With a promise to adhere to equality, sustainability and community, it seems like the founders of Brunch -In are committed to more than just music.

BITP actually collaborates with exterior groups to fight for  gender and sexual equality, environmental care, and even feeding the hungry through their very own foundation.

This same conscious mindset is why the servers at the booths will hand you a reusable cup whether you order a sangria or a beer. Impressively, eradicating single-use cups is only one of the sustainable steps that Brunch implements in their  events.

And of course, the eco-festival serves the sangria in reusable cups, so you can take a souvenir home with you.
