The Inaugural Angry Manatee Earth Day Soiree promises to be an Earth Day event like no other!

The Angry Manatee, aka "Profanatee Manatee," was created by Old Florida Vibes for the Florida Springs Council. Initially created as an inside joke, he has become a representation of how we all feel about the degradation and exploitation of Florida's Springs. He's a cutie, but he's asking for your help to protect his home, Florida's iconic springs.

This Soiree is a benefit for the Florida Springs Council.

Prepare to be enraptured by the live presence of a Nile crocodile, a magnificent live plant sale, tunes spun by a talented DJ, and a book signing by Old Florida Vibes. Taste native Yaupon teas, grown sustainably in Florida. Indulge your senses with springs-inspired photography, partake in a captivating silent auction fit for nature lovers, savor manatee-themed cocktails created by The Top, and be awe-struck by the never-before-seen projection mapping art display known as "The Rainbow Room."

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. See you there!

Many thanks to our sponsors and partners: Old Florida Vibes, Plantstay, The Wooly, Overeasy Creative, and the Reptile Preservation Institute
