The La Conner Birding Festival returns Jan. 24–25, 2026, and it’s the perfect excuse to slow down, look up and experience the Skagit Valley at its most magical.

Join us for a weekend of guided bird walks, expert talks, hands-on learning and community connection — all set against the stunning winter backdrop of La Conner. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just bird-curious, this festival is designed to inspire wonder, curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the natural world around us.

 Expect:

  • Incredible bird sightings (yes, including winter visitors!)
  • Knowledgeable guides and speakers
  • A charming small-town setting with great food, shops and views
  • A cozy, welcoming vibe that makes learning fun

Each day will have events for kids younger than 10 in the morning, and the educational sessions are great for ages 8 and older! Bundle up, bring your binoculars, and make a weekend of it — we can’t wait to welcome you to La Conner!
