The first Sea Islands Shorebird Festival is a 2-day event on May 11 and 12, 2023 hosted and organized by local municipalities, governmental agencies, volunteer groups, and non-profit organizations working on coastal bird conservation and education.
The festival celebrates the critically important sites of Seabrook Island and Kiawah Island for shorebirds, notably for the federally threatened Red Knot, for which these islands play a crucial role during their northern migration.
The festival aims to celebrate shorebirds and the islands they depend on, educate community members and visitors, and raise awareness to protect these magnificent birds and places. Click here to register for the various educational events that are lined up.
No registration required for The Feather Fest. Tickets to the Red Knot Reception are required and priced at $10.
