BIRD FEST: "At a Glance"
Check here for a quick look at the Bird Fest program schedule and plan your day, or just get an idea of what kind of events we offer, and then click the link to the PDF of the complete program for details. As registration for events progresses, check here to see if there is still space available on the various field trips.
In the "Pre-register" column:
--"Yes" denotes a trip for which ALL the participants must pre-register during General Registration, beginning April 29 through the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce. Please note that if your desired trip is "Full" there may be no-shows, and therefore empty slots that we will fill from a waiting list of hopefuls who are present when the trip is almost ready to depart;
--"Half" means that 1/2 of the participants may pre-register, but the remaining slots are saved for "first come, first served" on the day of the event (you may register for those 30 minutes before the departure time);
-- Exceptions: "Locals Thursday" events (for those with 98826 and 98847 zip codes) may register anytime after April 22, 8 AM. Any unfilled Thursday events will be open to all during General Registration, beginning April 29.
--"No" means no pre-registration is necessary. Just meet at the designated site 30 minutes before the event, and you can sign up.
In the "Cost" column:
--$5R means we are charging a refundable $5 fee. If you go on the field trip, your guide will give you a coupon that you may send in for a refund after Bird Fest (until May 31). If you don't show up, Bird Fest keeps the $5 fee. This is in hopes of having fewer "no-shows" on those early morning, popular field trips. Note: other fees shown are not refunded. They help us cover Bird Fest expenses associated with those particular field trips.
Is That Trip Full? (This chart was updated on May 5 at 2:45 PM)
--"FULL" means all slots, including the wait list, have been filled.
--"WL" means it is full to the wait list.
-- "Pre-reg full" means the trip is one that has 1/2 pre-registered spaces, and 1/2 "register 30 minutes before departure time" spaces. The pre-registered slots are full. Walk-ups still available 30 minutes before departure time.
PRE-REGISTER for most events at the Leavenworth Chamber of Commerce: 509.548-5807.
PRE-REGISTER for Arts events (concerts, art workshops) by calling Icicle Arts: 509.668-4663.
