The Tres Rios Nature Festival, February 22-23 from 10 a.m. tp 3 p.m., is a gem of a festival right here in the Phoenix Metro area. Sponsored by Maricopa Mountain Regional Park and our sister chapter, the Sonoran Audubon Society, the festival offers a wide variety of nature activities and experiences.
This festival showcases the plants, animals, sustainability, and ecological relationships of the Sonoran Desert. Enjoy guided bird tours, beautiful eco-crafts, and endless discoveries to be made about Southwest wildlife, there is something for everyone to enjoy in Arizona’s beautiful spring season.
Fun fact: Bob McCormick, who was the president of the Sonoran Audubon Society at the time, helped found this festival 15 years ago and the chapter continues to be a financial sponsor as well as leading the bird walks. Attendance has grown to more than 7,000 participants.
