Hilo, HI

HIFB is BACK!

2023 Festival Theme: Hawai‘i’s Amazing Biodiversity

The Hawai‘i Island Festival of Birds is a celebration of native birds, presented by the Hawai‘i Wildlife Center and Conservation Council for Hawai‘i. The 2023 festival will be in-person after a two-year hiatus. This revival will be a full-day event focused on community, culture, and conservation efforts to save our native manu and include a hōʻike, expert guest speakers, and a bird fair. Proceeds raised from the festival supports native bird hospital care and conservation efforts.
