Join us for the 20th Annual Shorebird Festival!

August is the perfect time to explore the diversity of New York City’s shorebirds. The Shorebird Festival at Jamaica Bay is a partnership among NYC Bird Alliance, American Littoral Society, Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy, and Gateway National Recreation Area. Join us in learning all about these beautiful birds and explore the natural habitat of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, filled with marshland, fresh and brackish water ponds, and grassy fields.

Meet at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center.

This festival is kid-friendly and can be enjoyed by the whole family.
