Community Engagement

Here’s what we’re doing to engage our community, plus how you can participate!

With the Oasis stage at its center, it boasts all new shade structures, places to lounge, live art and immersive education experiences from our community partners. Engage and connect with Debris Free Oceans, Clean Miami Beach, Bye Bye Plastic, Love the Everglades Movement, Miami-Dade County Parks Sea Turtle Conservation Program, Protect Animals Worldwide and Baptist Health South Florida to learn about protecting the environment and other important causes.

Educating partners, vendors and staff

Our community of partners, vendors and staff will be made aware of all of our sustainability initiatives and how they can participate before moving into Bayfront Park. Together, we will bring Mission: Home to life!

Posting sustainability signage

Throughout our event, you’ll see physical and digital signage reminding you to Leave No Trace, “Connect to Nature”, protect Biscayne Bay and participate in other sustainability initiatives.

Collecting and sharing detailed reports

All sustainability initiatives will be audited and a final report will be compiled to track key learnings and successes. Auditing these initiatives not only ensures compliance, but also builds a foundation for growth in future events.

Giving one paid intern and student volunteers real world industry experience
