About the Fest
The North Coast KelpFest! will be held from mid-May to mid-June 2024, bringing art, science, food and film together to tell the story of kelp forests on California’s north coast. Through a month long series of events, communities from across Northern California will be invited to the Mendocino coast to learn about and celebrate the ocean’s forests, and connect with coastal ecosystems and culture in a meaningful way. The combination of innovative art + science, ocean-oriented and kelp-inspired events hosted through KelpFest! will engage the hearts and minds of people of all ages and ethnicities. These events will also contribute to the success of kelp restoration efforts and ultimately create sustained appreciation and stewardship for this ocean ecosystem.
North Coast KelpFest! is a volunteer-powered collaboration. Please donate.
