Florida Fin Fest, the Jacksonville Beach-based conservation and music festival, is backed by the same production muscle behind Reggae Rise Up. The group makes ocean conservancy a major part of its platform, making it a perfect fit for St. Pete.
While the concert portion is ticketed, there is plenty to do for free as part of the weekend lineup. Fin Fest blends hands-on ocean conservation education with live music and the kind of diverse food lineup that makes you forget you technically came to learn something. Trinidadian cuisine, fusion tacos, and Kona Big Wave on tap. Education has never looked this good.
The Education Village, which is free to attend and located near the St. Pete Pier playground, will feature underwater VR experiences, touch tanks, and panel discussions from leading organizations like The Ocean Conservancy and OCEARCH. Dr. Michelle Ellena, the founder of MAR and one of our region’s most impactful environmental leaders, will be moderating the panel.
The sustainability focus isn’t just decorative, either. The whole operation skips single-use plastics entirely, serves everything in 100% recyclable aluminum cans, and builds a festival village around eco-conscious brands.
This is exactly the kind of event St. Pete was built for. Follow them on Instagram for updates.
