Trade Show

Birder’s Bazaar

Thursday, Friday 12:00n- 6:00p / Saturday 10:00a-6:00p / Sunday 12:00n-4:00p

Our Birder’s Bazaar, with free admission and open to the public, is much more than just a trade show.  Located within the Municipal Auditorium Complex, it’s the place to hang out after trips and between seminars.  Shop the unique vendors (think Christmas!). Learn about birding hotspots.  Visit the eBird station.  Get your books autographed.  Bid on great items in the Silent Auction.  Relax at the Kiskadee Kordial.  Visit The Raptor Project.  Another not-to-be-missed part of the Festival fun.

**Attention Vendors! The Trade Show is full.**

Jonathan Wood and his vast collection of stunning hawks, owls, eagles, and falcons are a star attraction, with many national TV appearances.  Jon is a Master Falconer, a licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator, and along with his wife Susan and his daughter Rachel, are integral to Festival efforts in reaching our youth and a great addition to the Birder’s Bazaar.  Come on in—get your picture taken with a majestic bird on your arm and catch one of the many flight shows, all possible during the Trade Show hours.
