Want to be a vendor at BirdFest & Bluegrass 2018?
BirdFest & Bluegrass, taking place the weekend of October 5-7th, is our local celebration of the return of the Sandhill Cranes to the Refuge, and of the natural and cultural wealth of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. Events include Sandhill Crane tours, guided nature and bird walks, children’s activities, kayak tours, Chinookan Plankhouse tours, naturalist workshops, and the Birder’s Marketplace, featuring artists who concentrate on wildlife and/or nature themes. BirdFest attracts 3,000 – 5,000 people annually, and we expect this year to be a record-breaker!
Please note that this year the Birder's Marketplace will only be open for ONE DAY on Saturday, October 6th. The Marketplace will not be open on Sunday, October 7th. All Sunday activities will be taking place on the Refuge, and not in town.
Deadline for space reservation is September 15, 2018.
