Our Mission: The Creston Valley Bird Festival exists to foster awareness of birds and their habitats in the Creston Valley.
Where the Birds Are: Celebrate the birds, art, and the agriculture of the Creston Valley.
Get ready to spread your wings and join us for an unforgettable celebration of feathered friends and the vital wetlands they call home during their annual migration north. The Creston Valley Bird Festival is an exciting event that takes place every second weekend in May, where you’ll get the chance to rub shoulders with bird experts – explore and deepen your appreciation for the great outdoors with presentations, hikes, field trips, and tours by canoe or kayak.
Next festival is May 9-12, 2025! Bird Guides Needed
The Creston Valley Bird Festival is looking for some bird guides! Be a part of a wonderful event – mileage, meal, and honorarium is included. A beginner birder tour is available around the Corn Creek Marsh WMA so if you have a moderate bird knowledge and enjoy being with outdoorsy people, this might be for you!
If interested, please email: info@crestonvalleybirds.ca
