Creston Valley Bird Fest 2025

Choose your events for the Bird Fest below. You'll choose events for other people who you are registering on the following pages (even children), so you should only choose your own events on this page.

For more details on the events, check the Bird Fest website.

Waivers

All tours and expedition events require a completed waiver form which must be filled out at time of registration. You'll receive a link to fill out the waiver by email after registering. If you do not complete one online and need to complete a form they will be available at the Festival Registration Desk.

Meals

If you have dietary concerns please email us at: info@crestonvalleybirds.ca.

Groups sizes

Group sizes for some events are limited to reduce the impact on the environment and to ensure a quality experience. Please book early to avoid disappointment.

Meeting Places

You'll find a map of all event locations here and your registration confirmation email will have links to the locations for each event. Please plan your route in advance and allow for adequate travel time to event locations to avoid being late.

Refund Policy

There is a “No Refund” policy for events after May 1. If you must cancel, please accept our thanks and consider it a donation to the sustainability of the festival. In the event that Creston Valley Bird Festival organizers must cancel an event, a full refund will apply.

Be Weatherwise

Events go ahead rain or shine. Bring your binoculars, camera, good walking shoes (we are off-pavement at the BirdFest), sunscreen, water, snacks or lunch in case your bird sightings keep you out longer than expected.  Also a jacket for the field trips; it can be chilly in the early mornings and evenings.

Waitlist

Occasionally, someone registered for an event has to cancel. You can select waitlist options below and we'll register you for the event if a space opens up and charge your credit card. You'll receive an updated email receipt to let you know.
If an event isn't shown in the list below, that means the event and its waitlist are both full.
