- Food & Drink -

What is the beverage, bottle, and can policy?

Are beverages available for purchase?

• Non-alcoholic beverages offered on-site include an array of Coke products and fresh squeezed lemonade.

• In lieu of selling plastic water bottles, TurtleFest will feature a water station where guests may refill their reusable water bottles for free all day long! Please either bring your own bottle or purchase one at the festival. Support our efforts to reduce marine debris and better protect the ocean.

• Each year, more and more plastic debris enters the ocean. It breaks down into tiny pieces and floats in the currents for years, damaging the ecosystem from the bottom of the food chain up. Plastic debris is a problem we face in our sea turtle hospital far too often.

Will alcoholic beverages be for sale?

• Alcoholic beverages are sold within the festival site for those of legal age. Beer selections from LMC partner, Sailfish Brewing Company and specialty cocktails featuring sponsor, Vida Caña Rum will be available for purchase.

• Regulations require that alcoholic beverages purchased at the event remain on-site.

• Festival security will ask you to dispose of any alcoholic beverages before you exit or enter.

• Please don’t drink and drive; let Uber, Lyft, or a taxi be your designated driver.
