Baynanza

The Baynanza Biscayne Bay Cleanup Day has been postponed. We are commemorating Earth Day virtually.

Baynanza is a celebration of Biscayne Bay and its significance as one of our most important ecological systems in South Florida. While Baynanza includes more than 25 great events spanning over five weeks throughout March and April, the Biscayne Bay Cleanup Day event has become nearly synonymous with this celebration.

Biscayne Bay Cleanup Day 2020, Baynanza's 38th anniversary celebration, has been postponed. We look forward to announcing a new date at a later time.

Join us for Baynanza 2020 as we embark on the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

This year will be twice as special as Miami-Dade County celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day with 305,000 Acts of Green. County residents are encouraged to commit to an act of green—any actions, such as clean-up events or tree plantings, or lifestyle changes, such as switching to a plant-based diet, being taken to improve our world. Sign up today and do your part to help create a more sustainable tomorrow.

Remember to wear closed-toe shoes (tennis-type shoes) and bring gloves, water, trash bags and snacks for you and any volunteers in your party.

We suggest you bring the following items with you when you participate in a clean up:
- Extra water
- Sunscreen
- Mosquito repellent
- Hat or visor
- Sunglasses
Baynanza 2020 will culminate with a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, Footprints to the Future (FTF), at the Stephen P. Clark Government Center on April 22.

FTF will feature fun, artwork made from recycled materials, environmental education, music and games. Stop by, grab an FTF Passport, and visit the four corners of the Earth to learn how #OurCounty is establishing an ecological, economical and more resilient future.

Event Details:

April 22, 2020
10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Stephen P. Clark Government Center
111 NW 1st Street, Miami

The event is free and open to the public. Those who complete the FTF Passport will be eligible for a tree to plant at home. Tree quantities are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The early 1980s marked the beginning of a monumental effort by Miami-Dade County to save Biscayne Bay and that effort continues in 2020. The Bay continues to suffer from pollution and the health of the marine environment is in a steep decline. Baynanza was created as part of a larger effort to save the Bay, which is our mission.

The environmental concerns that affect Biscayne Bay have reached dangerous levels. Baynanza continues to be an important community-wide effort to save the Bay.
As part of the fun and festivities, Miami-Dade County and Vizcaya Museum and Gardens are offering a number of contests for students as well as a contest open to all.
- Bookmark design contest for Miami-Dade County elementary school students
- Poster design contest for Miami-Dade County middle school students
- T-shirt design contest for Miami-Dade County high school students
- Photography contest for Miami-Dade County residents of all ages; students and non-students
All winners will be announced at the Baynanza Kickoff Event, which will be held at Vizcaya on March 11, 2020. For more information, visit the Vizcaya website.
