The purpose of the festival is to expand consumers’ acceptance of seaweed as a food product, to educate people on the environmental benefits of seaweed, and to leave participants feeling inspired to make a positive impact on the climate simply by inviting more seaweed into their lives!
For seven days — May 17 – 23 — Seaweed Days will feature a combination of virtual and in person activities (if safely possible), free and ticketed events. The seven days of seaweed will be packed with activities, workshops, presentations, and demonstrations presented by organizations from all over the world, appealing to a wide range of individuals, those who are curious and those with varying levels of seaweed knowledge.
We’ll be adding an events calendar to this website along with a portal containing a range of seaweedy information in the coming weeks. Sign up for the Cascadia Seaweed email newsletter to stay in the know!
