Join us for our 2025 Zero Waste Textile Expo– an event to educate our community about the impact of clothing and textile waste, and the urgent need to move towards more sustainable models in fashion. We’re delighted to have local professionals in the textile and clothing design industry provide demonstrations and insight.

This family-friendly event features:

• Interactive displays and activities that will teach you how you can be part of the solution!
• Clothing Swap: bring your clean, new or used items to swap (limit 2 grocery bags’ worth)
• Crafting for kids and adults.
• Creative upcycling ideas from local fashion designers
• San Diego Fix-It Clinic, join us for a delightful mini textile repair clinic, where you can bring your textile items that need a little love and mending. Please fill out the RSVP form to help us ensure that we have plenty of volunteers on hand to assist you. Please note that registration will close two days before the event. No worries if you can’t make it on time; we always welcome walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis! Just arrive before 3:30 PM. We will not be accepting any more people after 3:30 PM.
