Get ready to make a splash at ManateeFEST, our November extravaganza that’s equal parts birthday bash and conservation celebration! As the crisp autumn air rolls in, we’re rolling out the seagrass carpet for the stars of the Indian River Lagoon – our beloved manatees!
Join the Manatee Center for a day of aquatic adventures and marine mischief as we mark Manatee Awareness Month and throw an unforgettable party for our chubby-cheeked mascot, Moe the Manatee!
Dive into a sea of excitement with:
Eye-popping interactive exhibits that bring the underwater world to life
Fin-tastic games that challenge your manatee know-how
Hands-on activities that spark curiosity and inspire young ocean guardians
From tots to grandparents, everyone will be bubbling with joy as they discover the wonders of these gentle giants and learn how to be their real-life superheroes. So grab your flippers and join us for a day of maritime magic!
ManateeFEST will take place on November 15, 2026 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
