Green Hands: Now! On Earth Fest

On Sunday, April 23, 2017, the Green Hands Initiative and the North Florida Coastal Caretakers are partnering to present Now! On Earth Fest, a family-friendly and environmentally-conscious event.

On Earth Fest will begin with beach clean-up efforts on several local beaches, including Surfside Park at Vilano Beach, Crescent Beach, and at the St. Augustine Beach Pier. Gloves, bags, and other tools will be provided by the North Florida Coastal Caretakers. Volunteers are encouraged to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water in a reusable bottle. The beach clean-up efforts will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
 
Following the beach clean-up, the gates will open at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre at noon for a family-friendly fest, featuring raffles, live music, and other family fun. Live entertainment will be provided by The Young Step, Observatory, Constant Swimmer, and Jason Wall.
