"Promoting reef conservation & environmental awareness in the Virgin Islands"

Reef Fest is an annual event coordinated by various organizations to include the Virgin Islands Marine Advisory Service, the Virgin Islands Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, and Blue Flag USVI aimed at raising environmental education and awareness within the Virgin Islands community. The theme for Reef Fest this year is currently under development and will be released soon; however, it does draw inspiration from the Earth Day Challenge 2020 global citizen science effort.
At Reef Fest, there will be live musical entertainment, prize giveaways, and much more!

EXHIBITOR REGISTRATION

At Reef Fest, various organizations will participate by having booths or engage the public in demonstrations about some of the work that their organization conducts. There is no fee for governmental or non-profit agencies to register as an exhibitor; however, there is a fee of $150 businesses to register. We encourage participation from organizations who may not directly have a focus with the marine environment but may fit in with the general theme for that particular year.

SCHOOL GROUP REGISTRATION

Students in grades K-12 can also participate in activities at Reef Fest such as the Reef Rap, Trashion Show, and Art Contest competitions. These activities are a great way for students to demonstrate their love for the environment either through the arts.
