SEBASTIAN — Celebrate nature from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 8 at the Pelican Island Wildlife Festival at Sebastian’s Riverview Park.
The event, now in its 16th year, commemorates President Theodore Roosevelt’s establishing Pelican Island as the nation’s first national wildlife refuge 105 years ago.
The festival is free and is one of the best attended wildlife festivals in the state of Florida. More than 80 exhibitors will show wildlife and showcase local environmental and historical organizations.
Live music, food and arts and craft vendors will be at the event alongside the Indian River Lagoon. The event also includes a 5-kilometer run, guided kayaking and pontoon boat tours to view Pelican Island.
All funds from the festival will go toward building the new wildlife observation facility at Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge.
