The ninth annual Creston Valley Bird Festival is scheduled to take place from May 7 to 9, 2021.

According to Tanna Patterson, the chair of the Bird Festival Committee of Wildsight, next year’s festival will be scaled down in comparison to previous years, and the committee has selected a COVID-19 coordinator to ensure that public health guidelines are followed.

“Get ready to greet our feathered friends as they return to the valley after a long winter’s absence,” said Patterson. “Next spring’s bird festival promises to be a safe outdoor event.”
