• The theme is “The Ocean is the Heart” with an emphasis on ocean and climate education.

• Arts & Crafts: Create educational, green art and learn more about the Bay.
• Gifts, Prizes and Giveaways: Pick up a passport and visit every booth for stamps. Fill up the passport to win drawings, prizes and chances to spin the wheel.
