The California Seaweed Festival is an in-person FREE family friendly event celebrating the seaweed diversity of California! The festival will showcase seaweed uses and applications in art, cooking, farming, science, sustainable technology, and conservation. At the all-day event, we will have booths, exhibits, workshops, galleries, and hands-on activities to immerse you and your family in seaweed fun and knowledge. We also encourage the use of masks when in a crowded and enclosed areas, following the California set guidelines.
Getting to the California Seaweed Festival is easy with MTS! Park and Ride at one of our transit stations and take the UC San Diego Blue Line or the Green Line to the County Center/Little Italy Station. The Trolley station gives you easy access to the festival just steps away.
