3rd Annual Stoked On Salt – SOS Ocean Conservation Day
Huizenga Plaza, Fort Lauderdale
The 3rd annual SOS Ocean Conservation Day is a free, one day, outdoor event not only fun, but an educational program for the entire family that will help bring awareness to our ocean and the efforts to preserve and protect our living coral reef ecosystems.
This year Stoked on Salt is excited to announce that they will be partnering with the Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade Family Fun Day, 10am to 3pm, Huizenga Plaza, 32 East Las Olas Blvd., Fort Lauderdale. Expected attendance of 7,000+.

Over 30 Ocean/Marine Conservation groups will join them in the ‘SOS Conservation Village’ to engage in outreach with the general public about issues that could be addressed on a local level – which we so desperately need: CORALS – MANATEES – LIONFISH – BEACH/OCEAN DEBRIS – SHARKS – SEA TURTLES – MANTA RAYS – WHALES – LOBSTERING – WATER QUALITY – WILDLIFE RESCUE – FISHING REGULATIONS – OCEAN SAFETY and more.

Winterfest Boat Parade will provide community service hours to any students who would like to volunteer. During the event they will have conservation groups educating the community on how to become more eco-friendly by joining the SOS Mission to “Be E.C.” – environmentally conscious. We encourage all event goers to bring their own ocean-friendly drinkware to help continue the ongoing mission to Ban Plastic in our community.
With over 7,000 attendees – Winterfest Boat Parade Family Fun Day is packed with exciting Fort Lauderdale family activities where you can win prizes, check out the Florida Renaissance Pirate Ship and so much more. There are even plenty of opportunities for photo ops with Santa, Stanley the Panther and other surprise guests!
