2026 2nd Annual Twin Cities Bird Festival
2026 2nd Annual Twin Cities Bird Festival
Help make the Twin Cities Bird Festival Take Flight
BE PART OF A NEW MINNESOTA FESTIVAL TRADITION!
Why it’s important
Last year’s Bird Festival was a huge success — drawing strong turnout, packed bird walks, and incredible enthusiasm from the community. Building on that momentum, we’re expanding the event this year to reach even more people across Minnesota. The festival brings conservation to life, helping visitors connect with birds, habitats, and practical ways to take action. Volunteers are at the heart of making it all happen.
