Eco Events in South Florida: August 2026

Written By Alexa Pavan

There are so many exciting events happening in the environmental space all over South Florida! 


Once again, I’m writing to remind you that South Florida has SO MANY opportunities for you to get outside, get involved, and meet new people who like to do the same. 


That’s why I spend HOURS aggregating these events for you, because I knew these events existed and I was tired of individually sending events to people! 


This way, I hope more South Floridians get together and enjoy the beautiful outdoors, mostly for free! 


Unless otherwise stated, all events listed are free. 


The point is to promote community and get outside! 

This month, I will be attending:

🌼 August 1 Garden Party with Sea + Soil Soflo

🌼 August 2 Snorkel Meet Up with Spotlight Project and Surfrider Broward 

🌼 August 15 Zero Waste Miami Celebration Event with Debris Free Oceans

And possibly a few others! 


Don’t miss the virtual events at the end if you can’t make it in-person. 


Please share with others to build the community we want to see!
