Mote Marine Laboratory's 2021 Ocean Fest will be a community celebration for underwater and outdoor enthusiasts, ecotravelers, and families alike. Guests are invited to come celebrate the marine environment with a day full of festivities. Enjoy crafts, games, music, food, and shopping as the festival organizers showcase the local marine environment. 

Grab lunch and then explore conservation and environmental exhibits in which attendees will be able to meet live animals and experience touch tanks. You'll also be able to meet Mote's scientists and get to know more about their important work! If you feel compelled to get involved, then they'll be able to help you with that, too!

Proceeds and donations from this event will support Mote's coral reef restoration and research programs, so while you'll be having loads of fun at the festival, you'll also be supporting a great cause. 

The 5th annual Ocean Fest will take place in Islamorada at Founders Park on Saturday, November 13 from 10 AM to 4 PM. Come have a good time and give back to the community!
