Veg Fest special guest and Jungle Sponsor IBEX Puppetry’s interactive Endangered Species Parade engages people of all ages in a fun, upbeat discussion about conservation. Families learn about the native Florida environment as they build their very own endangered animal and pollinator puppets. Their Musical Garden and Nature Workshops (for families) allow participants to explore the roles we humans play in the rhythm of the earth that surrounds us. Then everyone is invited to march in any of their four parades, featuring their colorful IBEX Puppetry kites, flags, and puppets. Meet us for a day of celebration and learning dedicated to the health and healing of our planet! For the Ibex schedule of activities, go to the Activities page.
