Fun for the whole family!
On Sunday April 23, Les Fruits de Mer are hosting their Annual Endemic Animal Festival. This popular, free public event for all ages celebrates St. Martin’s/St. Maarten’s unique wildlife and natural heritage.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn about the animals that only live on this island or in our region. The 2017 event features an Endemic Animal Discovery Station that showcases live reptiles, insects and crustaceans that are only found in St. Martin or only in the Caribbean, with panels explaining the origins and importance of these special species. Wildlife experts are always on hand to share fun facts and answer questions.
There will also be Club Gaïac seedling giveaways, local wildlife-themed art activities and more! Last year over 400 people came out to see all of the educational activities at the festival.
The festival is made possible by the generous support of its sponsors: BirdsCaribbean, Caribbean Paddling, Delta Petroleum, Hotel L’Esplanade, IGY Marinas, Lagoonies Bistro & Bar, L’Esperance Hotel, Rain Forest Adventures, The Scuba Shop, Sonesta Great Bay Beach Resort, Casino & Spa, Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino and Tri-Sport.
The event will take place at Amuseum Naturalis at 96 Boulevard de Grand Case on Sunday, April 23, from 9:00am to 3:00pm. For more information, visit http://www.lesfruitsdemer.com/events/endemic-animal-festival/
