If you have been wondering about the 2026 Ladd Marsh Bird Festival, then wonder no more! The Festival is on for the weekend of May 15-17th. But this year, thanks for the involvement of the Art Center East and Cook Memorial Library, Festival related events begin before the weekend. Check out the Festival schedule. And while you’re there, check out the field trip options, and note a new field trip offer this year, The Bluebird Trail. There is also a review of Bird Fest 2025 here: Sunshine and Rain – Remembering Bird Fest 2025.

Registration for the Festival, which is free, opens April 6th, and for the field trips, which require a $25 fee per person, April 13th.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
