Learn about, admire, and celebrate migratory birds!
On this World Migratory Bird Day, join Mainspring, Balsam Mountain Trust, Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust, Birders of the Tuckaseegee Watershed, and other bird-minded organizations for a festival at Monteith Park in Dillsboro from 10am-4pm!
BirdFest is an annual FREE Bird Festival put on by Balsam Mountain Trust to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. This year the theme of the festival is “Protect Insects, Protect Birds” emphasizing the important relationship between a healthy invertebrate population and a thriving bird community, especially in spring when insects provide crucial protein for growing nestlings. At BirdFest, you can plan on enjoying free educational programming like bird and insect related walks and presentations, nature-themed music, art, vendors, local conservation organizations and some amazing free-to-enter raffles. One day not enough to celebrate birds? Check out THIS CALENDAR of bird-related community activites going on all week.
No registration is required to attend this event. To inquire about participating in this festival as a vendor or volunteer, email Skye.
