Earth Day Celebrations Around Miami-Dade

April 15, 2011 by MelanieDawn 51 Comments

Need ideas on how to celebrate Earth Day 2011? Here is a list of fun and educational events around Miami-Dade County?

Ladybug Release by Village of Palmetto Bay

When and Where: April 15 · 7:00pm – 10:30pm

What: “On Friday, April 15, the Village hosts Movie Night at Coral Reef Park – showing the movie “Wall-E.” Prior to the film, elected officials and moviegoers will release a few thousand ladybugs in the Ken Robinson Meditation Garden.” The Village of Palmetto Bay celebrates Earth Day by releasing one ladybug for every resident (more than 25,000 bugs in all) several times during the month of April. For more information and the rest of the scheduled releases, visit Village of Palmetto Bay’s Facebook page. 

“Celebrate Earth Day” at the Miami-Dade Libraries


When and Where: Various dates, time and locations throughout the month. Visit the Miami Dade Public Library website for more details. 


What: Celebrate Earth Day and promote environmental awareness for pre-schoolers with stories, crafts, song and activities

Party for the Planet at Zoo Miami


When and Where: April 16 & 17; 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.; Zoo Miami, 12400 SW 152 St. Miami. 305-255-5551. http://www.zoomiami.org/


What: “Zoo Miami’s Earth Day celebration, Party for the Planet, has“Green” activities and entertainment for the entire family as well as animal enrichment with recycled items and/or natural materials like newspapers, cardboard tubes, bamboo, old tires, fire hoses & more. The Tropical Flowering Tree Society will host the world’s largest plant show & sale. Guests can come in free of charge if they turn in a cellphone as part of our ECO-CELL phone recycling program. Not only will each person donating a cellphone enter the zoo for free on these two days, but they will also help save gorillas! Cell phones include coltan, a mineral extracted in the deep forests of the Congo in central Africa, home to the world’s endangered lowland gorillas. Fueled by the worldwide cell phone boom, Congo’s out-of-control coltan mining business has, in recent years, led to a dramatic reduction of animal habitat and the rampant slaughter of great apes for the illegal bush-meat trade. By turning in your cell phone, we can hopefully reduce the need for additional coltan … and help protect the gorillas.”
