Bird Fairs & Festivals

This page carries links to various celebrations of our pastime and opportunities to join others of a similar bent, or to learn more about the order of animals we all love. There are many festivals and bird fairs listed below… scroll down the list for details. Please also look at your country or state page for local events – this page may not have the most up to date details of the festival.

I welcome contributions and updates for this page. When I know dates and venues of forthcoming events I will try to include those details in the link. I have included links on all the appropriate country and state pages and these are likely to be updated more frequently… let me know if any links no longer work.

Most fairs and festivals not only celebrate birds but also raise considerable sums toward their conservation; my experience is that they are very enjoyable events that are a fun way of raising cash and a good way to meet other birders or promote your club, cause or product.

The biggest of them all, the British Bird Fair, disappeared but was soon reborn as the Global Birdfair and many local fairs and birding festivals can be found in a special section on each geographical page and this is where you should look for them, PLEASE let me know about any forthcoming events and I’ll list them.

There are a wealth of Festivals and Fairs in the USA such as the San Diego Bird Festival in California

…or the Festival of Cranes in New Mexico
