Discover the Chequamegon Bay Birding & Nature Festival, 
Nestled on the South Shore of Lake Superior, the Chequamegon Bay Birding and Nature Festival is your gateway to some of the Midwest’s top birding hotspots. Held during the peak of spring migration in late May, this weekend-long event offers unforgettable experiences for birders and nature enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels.

Explore the region’s rich natural diversity through guided field trips, hands-on workshops, educational programs for both kids and adults, engaging exhibits, and inspiring guest speakers.

Home to nearly 300 bird species and a variety of habitats, the Chequamegon Bay Area is a premier destination for birdwatching and wildlife viewing. Abundant public lands and breathtaking landscapes—including Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge, Copper Falls State Park, and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest—offer extraordinary opportunities to connect with nature.

Whether hiking, paddling, or strolling along the beach, festival participants will experience the beauty and wildlife of northern Wisconsin in a truly special way.
