Lake Worth Lagoon

The Event
-
First, it’s FREE! And that’s just for starters. LagoonFest brings to life one of the most incredible urban estuaries in Florida – Lake Worth Lagoon. You’ll find the event along Flagler Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, with the actual Lagoon providing a gorgeous backdrop to the event.  Participate in a variety of activities, such as Kayak Clean-Up Tours, Paddleboard Yoga Demonstrations, Mural Painting Wall and Kid Zone. Visit more than 40 exhibitor booths, and then indulge in delicious local foods at the West Palm Beach GreenMarket.

-
Free Kayak Clean-Up Tours 
-
See the Lagoon, on the Lagoon. Our partners at Visit Palm Beach are offering free guided kayak clean-up tours of the South Cove Natural Area. Tours start at 9 a.m., 10:15 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. To participate, please pre-register.
-
Picture Time with Free Calendars 

-
See remarkable pictures selected for the official Lake Worth Lagoon calendar, and pick up a free copy of that calendar where you see the displays. It’s all happening outside on our main stage, located on the north end of LagoonFest.
-
The Location
-
LagoonFest takes place on Flagler Drive, home to many events throughout the year. It’s a long street, but you’ll find all the action between North and South Clematis Street. Look for the Clematis Street fountains and walk through the West Palm Beach GreenMarket toward the waterfront.
-
Where to Park

-
Parking is located in the City of West Palm Beach Evernia Street and Banyan Boulevard garages, both of which are close by.
Evernia Garage – Free Parking from 6 a.m. – 2 p.m. (2 p.m. – 5 a.m. Normal operation)
Banyan Garage will be a flat fee of $5.00 from 6 a.m. – 2 p.m. (2 p.m. – 5 a.m. Normal operation)

West Palm Beach GreenMarket
-
While at LagoonFest, you may notice another event happening right over your shoulder. Our friendly neighbor is the seasonal West Palm Beach GreenMarket, featuring fresh foods and local goods from more than 90 vendors. It’s the first and foremost greenmarket in The Palm Beaches, and it never disappoints.

TRASH DISPOSAL: SCROLL DOWN TO VIDEO ON THE SUBJECT

This was apparently a video done for Century Village, yet there was no yellow container shown for the disposal of paper goods!

As unhelpful as this was, the man WAS right in saying that bottles should not be put in a plastic bag and the plastic bag of bottles then be put in the blue container. I know this from the brochure given Ken Graff and me when we went on a tour of the 45th Street recycling facility a few years ago. Ken took photos while I wrote an article on the subject for the Reporter.

We saw what happens to these plastic bags of bottles. A conveyor belt brings the contents of the blue recycle containers to a room high above the ground-floor dumpster disposal area where the trucks drop their loads. We could see this because we ourselves were in a similar viewing room at the same height above the floor. A man in the recycle room separates out the plastic bags of bottles from the rest of the glassware, but not by taking the bottles out of each bag. Instead, he throws the bags WITH THE BOTTLES AND GLASSWARE IN THEM through a hole in the floor, where they fall some 40 feet onto the ground floor dumpster disposal area. This is kind of fun to watch. Ba-boom go the bags, one by one.

Thus, however, all the work anyone had done in separating out bottles goes for naught if they had put the bottles in a plastic bag! In fact, you would have saved both yourself and the recycle facility time if you had just tossed the bag of bottles in the dumpster. Or not separated out the bottles in the first place! The tour guide did not explain all this—I suppose it would not have been the best advertising. But I saw it, asked the guide about it, and she confirmed what I've just described.

Interestingly, on a part of the tour we were told what the future of trash disposal held. There were prototypes in various places in the country, the tour guide explained. The trash then would NO LONGER BE DIVIDED as it is now. Everything would go into one pile, we would go back to the old way of doing things in a sense, and machinery would do the dividing. 

The best thing we can do now, of course, is to use both recycle containers and, as the man in the video explained, not put our glassware in any plastic bags.
