This Saturday, Wekiva Island will be closed until 5:00 p.m. for our annual Fall Egg Fest. We’d love for you to join the fun—grab your ticket and be part of the festivities. After 5:00 p.m., the Island will reopen and welcome guests as usual.
At Wekiva Island, we live every day like it’s Earth Day. However, we’re excited to launch a day-long celebration for Mother Earth this year! Join us Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22 for activities created with both adults and kids in mind, where we invite you to get your hands dirty and connect with your wild side.
From an art exhibit in Gallery CERO inspired by the Earth to a succulent design workshop to river cleanups—we have something fun for everyone. We’ll also be offering beer specials thanks to our friends at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. with $5 16-oz Sierra Nevada Pale Ales all day and $4 during our 5-7PM Happy Hour!
Discover how we are celebrating below.
