There is a lot to do and see at the Festival! There are events on birding, botanizing, paddling, hiking, biking and much more.

We are happy to have many fun family events and a special evening with David Phillips, Senior Climatologist from Environment Canada. The Festival is a great opportunity for nature lovers of all ages to explore the outdoors. This area is familiar to many naturalists across Ontario for its variety of bird species and has been designated by Birdlife International as an "Important Bird Area."
