Sedona Hummingbird Festival

Imagine a weekend where the sun-dappled red rocks of Sedona, Arizona, come alive with the vibrant colors of hummingbirds, filling the air with their delicate flutters and melodic hums. From Friday, July 24, to Sunday, July 26, 2026, the Sedona Hummingbird Festival invites families, friends, and nature enthusiasts to gather in this breathtaking setting to celebrate the wonders of these tiny aviators. The festival is held at the Sedona Performing Arts Center, a hub of activity where visitors can enjoy free admission to Hummingbird Central, featuring a bustling marketplace, captivating photo contests, and a variety of food vendors offering local flavors.

Throughout the weekend, attendees can immerse themselves in a range of activities designed to delight all ages. Engage in 14 enlightening speaker presentations covering diverse hummingbird topics, embark on guided garden tours showcasing native plants that attract these beautiful birds, and participate in banding demonstrations and birding field trips led by experts. Families will find joy in the Kids’ Day on Saturday, featuring crafts, live animal exhibits, and interactive activities that spark curiosity and learning.
