Register today to attend one of the largest birding festivals in Texas! Unique outdoor adventures amid more than 200 species of birds are in store for all ages at the 9th Annual FeatherFest. What’s more, you’ll find Galveston Island and its surrounding areas steeped in Texas charm, history and hospitality.
Galveston is one of the top locations for birding in the nation, and this family-friendly festival is held during the avian spring migration – the best time to visit world-renowned birding hot spots like Bolivar Flats and High Island.
There will be something for everyone at FeatherFest 2011, whether you’re a novice or experienced outdoor lover. Excursions by bus, boat or kayak will visit a variety of habitats, from beaches to bays, bay marshes to wetlands, and coastal prairies to upland wood mottes. The highly successful Photo Fest, our new track of photography programs, will be even bigger and better!
