Every April since 1998, during the height of spring migration, the Grand Isle Sanctuary Group has hosted The Grand Isle Migratory Bird Celebration, when the protected pockets around Grand Isle become the educational playground of bird lovers who will flock to the area, binoculars in hand, to explore the chenieres via kayak and boat tours, attend educational workshops on bird banding and native plant identification, take in local history, attend talks by avian experts, peruse local artwork, and otherwise enjoy all nature has to offer.
Most events are free. Agendas, vicinity maps, birding trail maps, accommodations, and directions are available at townofgrandisle.com/grand-isle-migratory-bird-festival.
