Wekiva Island is going all out for Earth Day… and this is one you actually want to put on your calendar.
On April 24, they’re hosting their 4th annual Earth Day Celebration and it’s not just “learn about nature” energy…
It’s:
👉 hands-on
👉 kid-friendly
👉 actually fun
Think: a full day by the river with things to DO, not just watch.
Here’s what’s happening aka… plan your day 👇
Morning vibes
- River Cleanup (8–10am)
- Eco Paddle Tour (10–11:30am)
Midday reset
- Watercolor Journaling (12–1pm)
Afternoon + evening fun
- Animal Encounters 🐢 (3:30–5:30pm)

Creative + hands-on

Why this is worth it
This isn’t your typical Earth Day event.
It’s part education, part outdoor day, part mini festival… all set right on the river.
And this year is bigger:
✔️ Larger market
✔️ New experiences (paddle tour + art workshop)
✔️ More ways to get kids involved
What to know before you go
- Open to the public
- Some activities require tickets or registration
- Come early if you want parking + a good spot
Bottom line
If you’ve been looking for something different to do with the kids… or even a low-key mom day by the water… this is it.
Save this. Send it to a friend. Make a day of it.
