Event details

The Great Salt Lake Bird Festival lands right as migration peaks, when wetlands around the lake fill with shorebirds, waterfowl, and surprising color. Sign up for field trips or keep it simple with family-friendly activities and easy viewing areas.

Bring binoculars, dress for wind, and add a side trip to Antelope Island State Park for lake views and bison spotting.
