Get ready for a hoot! Join Denver Audubon in celebrating autumn...
Flocktoberfest is our annual community festival with something for all ages!
Get ready to spread your wings with Flocktober Fest, Denver Audubon’s signature fall celebration! This vibrant three-day event brings together nature lovers of all ages for a one-of-a-kind experience filled with awe, education, and feathered fun.
From the thrilling sight of live owl demonstrations to the hands-on excitement of our family-friendly open house at the Kingery Nature Center, Flocktober Fest is where curiosity takes flight. Guests of all ages will discover the wonders of birds and nature through interactive activities, games, and guided exploration.
For those looking to mix a little style with their science, our dazzling Flocks & Frocks bird fashion party is the place to be. Think feathers, flair, and fun with fellow bird enthusiasts, conservationists, and community supporters. And for adults who prefer their birding with a pint, we’re hosting a laid-back brewery social, plus a variety of engaging adult workshops and programs throughout the weekend.
Flocktober Fest is more than just an event—it’s a celebration of community, conservation, and connection with nature.
