About Us:
It all started… In 1993 a group of Homer residents representing environmental, economic and cultural interests, got together to dream up an event. They envisioned a festival that would educate the public about shorebirds and wetlands. The Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival was born.
A partnership between the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge and the Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges, the festival continues to thrive through the generous support of sponsors and volunteers who donate time, funds, and share their expertise.
We thank each and every sponsor – no amount of time or donation is insignificant. A very special thanks goes to the World Wildlife Fund, GCI, Audubon Alaska and Eagle Optics for pledging substantial sponsorships over the past decade.
