Each winter, thousands of Snow Geese and Trumpeter Swans gather along the shores of Stanwood and Camano Island, creating one of Western Washington’s most spectacular wildlife events. The Snow Goose and Birding Festival on February 28, 2026 offers guided tours, speakers, and hands-on learning focused on the birds that depend on these coastal habitats. Expect waterfowl, seabirds, shorebirds, and raptors, plus art, vendors, and community displays. Tickets are $10 at the door. Children under 12 attend free.
