Feathery Festival 2026

In celebration of our local Woodland Birds, Connecting Country, Birdlife Castlemaine and Castlemaine Field Naturalist Club are teaming up to present the biannual Feathery Festival!

After a successful inaugural festival in 2024, the biennial Feathery Festival is back in 2026 with a big program offering a diversity of opportunities to learn about our local woodland birds. The festival is centred around National Threatened Species Day (acknowledged annually on 7 September) and aims to raise awareness and celebrate our beautiful local woodland birds, many which are sadly threatened with extinction.

This years festival is shaping up to be one of a kind, with bird walks, a local property visit, panel discussion and the intertwining of nature and art. Call a friend, and a clear your diaries from the 5-11 September, you will be celebrating our wonderful feathered friends over four fantastic events!
