Around Town: Coastal cleanups set for Saturday

By Daily Pilot staff

Thousands of volunteers statewide will head to beaches, bays and inland waterways on Saturday to participate in the annual Coastal Cleanup Day.

For the first time, Orange County Coastkeeper and California State Parks will present a post-cleanup celebration at Huntington State Beach. The event, called Trash Free OC Jamboree, will feature educational games and activities, prizes and food trucks.

Admission is free. A portion of proceeds from food sales will be donated to Coastkeeper and Bolsa Chica and Huntington state beaches to support environmental education efforts.
