Celebrate Earth Day at The Barnacle

The Barnacle (3485 Main Highway) is celebrating Earth Day on Sunday, April 22. Join in a celebration of all things Green. Bring your own picnic or buy lunch from The Barnacle Society and enjoy environmental activities for the kids and games for the entire family. The celebration will feature environmental displays by local non-profits, government environmental groups, and green businesses as well as live music from Miami’s "Historian-in-Song," Grant Livingston.

Livingston's folk style blends ragtime, country blues, and swing and occasionally even offers a unique twist on classic hits from the 1920s. With original songs featuring a man who is really intense about eating pie, practical advice for sailors (Pointy Side Up), a dog longing for life off the leash, and—what else—barnacles doing what barnacles do, Livingston infuses his lyrics with upbeat humor and vivid storytelling that reflect his love of South Florida's history, environment, and people. A local favorite for more than two decades, this singer/songwriter appeals to kids and to the kid in us all.

Blankets or lawn chairs and picnics are welcome; no alcohol is allowed. This event is sponsored by The Barnacle Society, Inc., which is a volunteer non-profit, citizen-supported organization created to generate public awareness, education, and financial support for the preservation and maintenance of this historic home.

The celebration is from 10:30 am to 4 pm. It is free with regular park admission of $2; children under 6 are free. For additional information call 305-442-6866.
