CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival is returning to Brevard County for five days filled with exhibits and more.

The festival will run for its 26th year from Wednesday, Jan. 22, through Sunday, Jan. 26. The event draws hundreds of birders and vendors from around the world.

Described as a “crash course of Florida’s wildlife,” the festival will showcase over 50 exhibits from “destination tour companies, wildlife and birding organizations, nature-based businesses, authors, photographers and painters.”

“The Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival allows you to add to your life list, take some amazing photos, see different Florida habitats, and meet other birders and naturalists from around the country,” the event’s website reads.

Event organizers said festivalgoers could anticipate learning about Florida’s land and waterways from expert guides, hearing from world-class birders, checking out equipment in an Expo Center, and giving children the opportunity to check out the Young Birder Event on Saturday, Jan. 25.
