Bog Brewing Company
Bog Brewing Company started 10 years ago, founded as just a chill place to drink good beer. A decade later, The Bog has become a staple in the St. Augustine craft beer scene. There will be a couple of kegs floating around the neighborhood to make it a true block party - with proceeds benefiting Matanzas Riverkeeper. We will be on site at Bog starting at 11:30 A.M. Block off your Saturday to save our waters and drink Bog beer! Cheers! 🍻

The Litter Gitter program, an initiative by Matanzas Riverkeeper, engages community members in hands-on efforts to clean our waterways and educate them about marine debris and litter issues. The namesake of the program is the Litter Gitter II, a bright yellow, 24-foot Carolina skiff designed for efficient removal of large volumes of debris. Through this program, we aim to keep our local waterways clean and healthy, while offering volunteers a rewarding opportunity to make a tangible impact.
