Alabama Coastal BirdFest

Become A Sponsor

Since its inaugural year in 2004, the John L. Borom Alabama Coastal BirdFest has brought thousands of birders and nature lovers from across the country to the Alabama Gulf Coast. The festival has seen substantial growth over the last two decades, and now features more than 40 birding and nature tours across 20 venues during the four-day event. Alabama Audubon now serves as the festival's producer and is excited to kick off the event’s next chapter April 23-26, 2026.

A sponsorship contribution to Alabama Coastal BirdFest not only gives you exposure to both local and nationwide birdwatchers and nature lovers - it makes a direct impact on local bird conservation on the Alabama coast by supporting our Alabama Coastal Bird Stewardship Program!
