Huron Fringe Birding Festival | Ontario

The Huron Fringe Birding Festival is where we enjoy nature, birds, and birding. Join us as we celebrate Ontario's birds, birdwatching, and natural surroundings over two four-day weekends! The festival is centered in the lovely MacGregor Point Provincial Park, where activities explore the park's many exciting nooks and crannies as well as travel to numerous significant natural areas in Bruce and Grey Counties as well as the Huron Fringe, a region of land that stretches along Lake Huron's shore. Top leaders from Ontario and throughout the world will appear at more than 90 events and trips.

Where is Huron Fringe Birding Festival Held?

Along the edge of Lake Huron, MacGregor Point Provincial Park is a natural ecosystem with a variety of biological types. There are several perspectives from which to see the constantly changing lake along the Old Shore Road Trail, which runs parallel to the park's seven-kilometer shore.
There are several possibilities to explore the park's different ecosystems, including ponds, cattail marshes, silver maple swamps, fens, and bogs. These areas are renowned for seeing resident and migratory birds in the spring. This area would be the ideal setting for a birdwatching festival because of its natural and diversified ecosystem.
The coastline, trail networks, wetlands, and, of course, the birds will all be appreciated whether you choose to camp inside the park or stay in nearby Port Elgin.


How to Attend Huron Fringe Birding Festival?

You may discover intriguing, educational, and enjoyable events, regardless of whether your interest is just "for the birds" or whether you want to learn more about botany, photography, geology, cultural history, and more. But enroll early because many events sell out within a short period after registration opens. It's a well-known Festival, for sure!
With an eye toward the future, the festival provides a mentoring program where ambitious young birders and naturalists may see our seasoned leaders and learn about efficient leadership techniques.
The Friends of MacGregor Point host daily convivial BBQ meals at noon to round out the festival’s offerings. Morning coffee is also available. Furthermore, we cannot express enough how grateful we are for the fantastic group of welcoming and helpful Festival volunteers who are always there to help you while you are attending the festival. Joobira hopes you can come along with us!
