In celebration of World Oceans Day, S.E.A. Aquarium will launch Ocean Fest! from 25 May to 24 June 2018.
This month-long festival aims to raise awareness for ocean conservation through a marketplace showcasing ocean-friendly products, educational challenges, underwater performances, upcycling workshops, art installation and more.
Ocean Eco-market
First ocean eco-market features more than 10 eco-friendly booths manned by vendors such as Seastainable Co. and xxxx. Check out the great collection of well-designed and reusable home products from upcycled LED lamps to organic, microplastic-free beauty products. Plus, take part in interactive games and activities to celebrate the ocean.
This eco-market is organised in partnership with Terra SG – a social enterprise that advocates individuals to make positive environmental change. Eco-market is open on weekends only.
