The 2025 Pikes Peak Birding & Nature Festival schedule is below. You must register for both the festival and the individual activity to attend. If you show up without registering for both, you will be turned away.

We recommend you select all of your choices on this website and then visit the registration site. We will update this page to show what is full as often as we can.

Name tags and pre-ordered T-shirts must be picked up prior to your first field trip. Pick-up this year is at either Fountain Creek Nature Center or Bear Creek Nature Center.
