In 2006, the inaugural Green Apple Music & Arts Festival, which kicked off with the Jammy Awards at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, featured two days of outdoor performances at Grand Central by the likes of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and Assembly Of Dust, Umphrey's McGee and Tea Leaf Green headlining CBGB, a screening of Wetlands Preserved and three nights of concerts all throughout Manhattan.

For 2007, the Green Apple Festival will spread throughout the United States with 150 shows at 80 separate theaters in 3 different cities, New York, Chicago and San Francisco. In the Festival's most ambitious venture to date, Relix Magazine, Pete Shapiro, and Jambands.com will mount a simultaneous day long concert on Earth Day, Sunday April 22, in New York’s Central Park, Chicago’s Lincoln Park, and San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

While many of the shows have yet to be announced, the Festival will return to Vanderbilt Avenue outside of Grand Central Terminal and Particle will return to the Bowery Ballroom, the scene of their 2006 sold-out Green Apple show.
