As part of the 2025 Coast Film & Music Festival, the third annual Coast Summit—presented by A New Earth Project—is a one-day immersive experience designed to equip, connect, and activate those committed to building a healthier planet by supporting healthier people.

This year’s theme, "Healthy People, Healthy Planet," highlights the vital link between personal well-being and environmental regeneration.

DO GOOD VILLAGE

The Do Good Village was launched at the 2022 Coast Film & Music Festival to connect attendees with non-profit partners dedicated to protecting land and sea. Built on a shared mission to educate, inspire, and empower action, the Village provides resources and tools for individuals to make a lasting difference in their communities. In 2025, the Do Good Village expands with interactive experiences, engaging activations, and speaker panels throughout the weekend, creating even more opportunities to connect and take action.
