Mahalo!

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone who came out to BirdFest 2026!! Over 800 manu-minded folks came together to celebrate native birds and conservation efforts at the Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo. If you learned something cool, or if this past weekend sparked something in you, please share with your friends and family to continue to grow awareness and love of manu. As a hui, we may have different strengths, opinions, priorities, but we’re all in this together.

A special mahalo to all of our sponsors, coordinators, presenters, volunteers, and amazing folks that made this event possible.

Reminder: 2026 Festival Merch Available until Dec. 1
