Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest
May 15 - May 18
Come bird with us, discovering the natural beauty and wonders of North Central Washington!
Celebrate the return of migratory birds in the midst of peak wildflower season. Enjoy the excitement of birding field trips and workshops. Take part in speaker events, music, visual arts, picnics, and activities for all ages and abilities. All of this is happening in beautiful Leavenworth, WA and throughout the Wenatchee River Valley. Bird Fest happens in association with World Migratory Bird Day. Bird Fest contributes a list of all birds seen during the festival to eBird, the world’s largest biodiversity-related community science project.
The Leavenworth Spring Bird Fest takes place in beautiful Leavenworth, Washington with events and activities throughout the greater Wenatchee Valley. The area features spectacular habitats that are home to a wide array of resident and migratory bird species. It is also a popular tourist destination with a multitude of dining and shopping options, as well as easy access to world-class hiking, mountain biking, rafting, rock climbing, and other outdoor activities. Attendees are invited to make the most of their Bird Fest experience by exploring everything the area has to offer.
Bird Fest is organized by Wenatchee River Institute and North Central Washington Audubon Society. At WRI, you can register and check-in for field trips, get your questions answered, and attend events like the Community Fair, the Keynote Address, Birders’ BBQ, Birders’ Happy Hour, and more. Located just downstream from the confluence of the Wenatchee and Icicle Rivers, WRI’s 13-acre nature reserve is located in a spectacular setting that features accessible walking trails with panoramic views of the Wenatchee River and the Stuart Range. You’re also just steps away from the campus e-Bird route, Waterfront Park, and Blackbird Island – a popular stop on Audubon’s Great Washington Birding Trail. It is only a short walk from downtown Leavenworth, but a world away from the hustle and bustle of Front Street.
