Snow Goose Festival, Alberta

The Snow Goose Festival first debuted in 1993 on Beaverhill Lake's southern coast. The event was created to celebrate spring migration and give the general public, nature lovers, bird watchers, and anyone else interested the chance to come out and see many different types of birds that stopover in the Beaverhill Lake region during northward migration. This event was geared toward families and included transportation, excursions, and hikes led by volunteer naturalists in and near Beaverhill Lake and Beaver County. Visitors have a wide range of alternatives in the town of Tofield, thanks to a trade fair and several events.

In western Canada, the Snow Goose Festival has grown to be one of the most significant events of its type. About 6,000 people attended the festival the year before. The last snow geese fly out of Beaverhill Lake in the first week of May. The geese graze, relax, and gain weight in Beaverhill Lake before they migrate north. The Snow Goose Festival is at its busiest in the early morning or later in the day if you want to view the most geese possible. By mid-May, when the birds finally reach their northern nesting locations, their annual trip will end.
With the help of the festival, Beaverhill Lake's tens of thousands of visitors have the rare chance to observe and hear snow goose flocks up close in their undisturbed natural environment. The geese may be heard crowing and are frequently observed in enormous groups.
