Kelpfest 2011

KelpFest was created to celebrate the return of the kelp forests and to honor the thousands of people who helped to restore them. The 2^nd annual KelpFest, will be on April 16^th, 2011 this year on Main Beach in Laguna Beach from 9am-5pm. There will be many like-minded environmental organizations with exhibits at the event to help educate the participants and help to nurture an appreciation for giant kelp forests. Other activities throughout the day include live painting and sculpting, an life size interactive kelp forest model, a live underwater broadcast from the kelp forest, a live performance from Birdsong and the Eco Wonders, guided tidepool tours, free stand up paddle board tours to the kelp forest, and a 100 snorkeler swim to the kelp forest, as well as lots of arts and crafts for kids. If you can’t make it to the event, you can still view the first of its kind underwater broadcast from the kelp by streaming it from UStream on your computer or smartphone.
