Eco Vibes
Sun, sound and a little bit of purpose set the scene at EarthFest 2026: Our Power, Our Planet, a feel-good afternoon where sustainability shows up dressed for a good time. Hosted by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center alongside the Village of Key Biscayne, the gathering leans into hands-on fun without losing its message. Expect a lively soundtrack courtesy of the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, Grant Livingston and Paty B, plus a recycled fashion show that proves eco-conscious can still turn heads. Native plant showcases and gardening moments invite guests to dig in while learning something worth taking home. Designed for all ages, it’s the kind of community event where curiosity leads the way, and every corner offers something to explore; April 25 from 3 p.m.–8 p.m. @ Paradise Park & Civic Center, 530 Crandon Blvd.; BiscayneNatureCenter.org.
Impact Leaders
For a landmark 33 years, the 12 Good Men has been the premier fundraising luncheon celebrating male philanthropy and honoring civic champions in our community. This May 1, Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida will once again gather the region’s most influential leaders to honor a new cohort of extraordinary men who exemplify the spirit of service and community engagement. It serves as a vital lifeline for the the new 7-story Griffin Family Campus, directly supporting RMHC South Florida’s operational needs and ensuring that families with seriously ill children have access to essential resources, including lodging and meals. To date, the event has recognized nearly 400 distinguished men and raised $2.5 million for “The House That Love Built.”; RMHCSouthFlorida.org.
