The 11th Annual Sedona Hummingbird Festival is a can’t-miss event! Presented by the International Hummingbird Society, the Festival is located in the heart of Sedona’s spectacular red rock landscape and features an astounding array of activities: 14 different speaker presentations on various hummingbird topics, hummingbird garden tours, banding demonstrations, birding field trips, breakfasts with hummingbirds, a hummingbird marketplace filled with hummingbird-related supplies and gifts, an amazing raffle, a photo contest, a fun festival dinner, a Kids’ Day featuring crafts, activities, and live animals, a plant sale, and pre-festival workshops on hummingbird photography and painting.

The stars of the event are the hummingbirds! There are dozens of hummingbirds at the feeders right at Hummingbird Central (also known as the Sedona Performing Arts Center). You can see even more hummingbirds at our banding locations and on the Garden Tour. As many as eight species of hummer can be found in the Sedona area during the festival – how many will you see?
