What was more fitting was that this show took place in the open air Mann Center on a beautiful summer night… and the Mann recently launched a new green initiative to celebrate 75 years of music in the park!
Green changes the Mann has implemented include:
As a member of PA Environmental Council’s Greater Philadelphia Green Business Program, The Mann Center strives to preserve and protect the natural beauty of its home while positively contributing to natural resources and the environment. “With our home in Philadelphia’s stunning Fairmount Park, we are naturally eco-friendly,” said Catherine Cahill, president and CEO of The Mann. “By launching our green initiative program and implementing new sustainable practices, we aim to raise the bar for green practices at performance venues nationwide and attract a whole new generation of green concertgoers.”
The Mann estimates it will recycle approximately 8 tons of materials throughout the summer. With recent shows like Passion Pit and Cheap Trick and upcoming acts Arcade Fire, Spoon, MGMT, Rufus Wainwright, Keane, Ingrid Michaelson and Cake, there’s lots of opportunities to recycle & check out this venue!
