The Monterey Bay Bird Festival is put on by the Bird School Project This is our second year hosting the festival and we are so excited to bring this birding event and celebration back to life for our local and worldwide community! We are forever grateful to the loyal attendees, field trip leaders, workshop presenters, keynote speakers, local businesses, government municipalities, local non-profit organizations, and an army of volunteers who have helped to put on the festival throughout the years.
Monterey Bay has a unique natural landscape and a diversity of birds. We want to continue to highlight the magnificence of our region and create a hub where people of all backgrounds feel included and eager to explore the magical world of birds. You can look forward to interactive workshops and field trip options throughout the many communities of Monterey Bay. This festival will be full of fun community connections, food, music, and a keynote speaker.
