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.
More Information to Come
We are currently working on finding interested Hālau to present at the Hōʻike and will be setting up the rest of the day’s events including bird fair exhibitors and guest speakers. Bird Fair exhibitors and guest speakers are by invitation only. If you think you would be a good fit, please send us a message and introduce yourself.
