Join Us for the Annual Bird Fest Community Fair!

A highlight of the festival season is back! We invite you to the Bird Fest Community Fair—a gathering for families, youth, and adults to celebrate birds, wildlife, and the beautiful Wenatchee Valley.

Continuing our tradition of an extended schedule, the fair remains open later into the afternoon so you can head over straight from your morning birding field trips. Enjoy a full afternoon of art and nature activities, guided walks, and live music from local musicians. With a wide variety of artists and vendors on-site, there is truly something for everyone to enjoy.

2026 organizations: Wenatchee River Institute Education Booth, NCW Audubon Society, WA Native Plant Society, Wenatchee Pride, CAFE Wenatchee, Mountain Sprouts, Leavenworth Fish Hatchery, Save Our Wild Salmon, Wenatchee YMCA, and Xerces Society

2026 vendors: ZTEK Impressions, Swarovski Optik, Buddies Cafe Cart, Franks Franks, Laurel Mundy Illustration, and Jacob McHenry
