If you think an eco festival is just tie-dye, hemp tote bags and earnest lectures, think again. The Eco Living Festival Maroubra 2025 is Sydney’s longest-running sustainability event, now celebrating two decades of surfside style and substance. This isn’t just another market — it’s a full-scale coastal takeover with 130+ eco stalls, live music, workshops, and food that proves green living can actually be fun.
This year it once again merges with the buzzing Maroubra Beach Markets, turning Broadarrow Reserve into a one-day hub for sustainability, shopping and community. Free entry, seaside air, and a chance to rethink what eco-friendly living looks like in 2025.

The BioHax Take
Eco has finally grown up. Forget the community hall PowerPoint on composting — this is sustainability wrapped in surfside cool. Expect EV test drives, bike-powered smoothies, DIY pickling workshops, recycled fashion that looks editorial not ironic, and a kids’ corner that keeps the little eco-warriors busy while you shop the stalls.
The difference? Atmosphere. This isn’t a lecture, it’s a market, a party, and a free crash course in greener living without the guilt trip.

Sustainability Snapshot
The festival practices what it preaches. Expect zero-waste systems, composting and recycling stations, a strong preference for stallholders who are local and fair-trade, and a transport push encouraging visitors to cycle, walk or bus it in. Even the entertainment doubles as education — with renewable-powered demos and pedal-powered smoothie bikes.
Why It Matters
For twenty years, Randwick Council’s Eco Living Festival has been the anchor event for sustainability in Sydney’s East. What started as a modest community initiative has evolved into a major annual festival that marries lifestyle with environmental impact. In 2025, it’s less about token gestures and more about showing how to integrate sustainability into food, fashion, travel, and daily rituals — without losing the fun.
