Our birding festival provides an excellent opportunity for vendors to connect with an enthusiastic and engaged audience. We welcome non-profit organizations, government agencies, artists, optics merchants, and others who share a commitment to education about the environment, habitats, and birds.
The festival draws attendees from the local community, neighboring counties, across the country, and even internationally. It’s a great chance to network with fellow bird and nature enthusiasts, educate the public, and showcase your products or services. Whether you’re looking to expand your reach, share your mission, or engage with a passionate audience, our festival is the perfect place to do it.
Onsite venue dates will be April 17-19, 2026
