2024 Festival Highlights

—————

A huge heartfelt mahalo to the Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo and all the attendees, vendors, exhibitors, presenters, sponsors, donors, and volunteers that made the 2024 Hawaiʻi Island Festival of Birds another smashing success! The 2024 Festival was all about celebrating connections – creating a welcoming and celebratory space that allowed all of us to connect through a shared hope for our native manu.

Seeing everyone’s enthusiasm brought us so much joy, along with witnessing the next generation of emerging conservation professionals and seeing passionate manu-minded keiki leading multiple generations of their ‘ohana through the event. When it comes to elevating our native birds, there is a place for everyone no matter your age, life experiences, education, or profession. Until we all meet again, keep up the love, keep up the hope. A hui hou!
