HOOTenanny Owl & Bluegrass Festival

The Audubon Society of Greater Denver invites you and your family to investigate and celebrate owls, the stealthy nocturnal hunters (a.k.a. ninjas of the night!), at our 5th annual HOOTenanny Owl & Bluegrass Festival. Discover the secret life of owls through live owl encounters, crafts, educational activities, and informational displays presented by local non-profit and government organizations. The event is designed with all ages in mind and takes place in the beautiful setting of the Audubon Nature Center at Chatfield State Park. Exciting and engaging live Colorado owl encounters will be provided by Wild Wings Environmental Education. Investigate “Whoo’s for Dinner” by examining owl pellets (i.e. owl puke), while partnering organizations such as Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, Colorado Parks & Wildlife, and Lookout Mountain Nature Center will have owl activities and owl biofacts on display. Take home a hoot of a craft or sport your owl spirit with custom face painting. Check out the adorable owl hats, earrings, stuffed animals, and other merchandise in the nature center gift shop or browse the owl book collection provided by the Roxborough Library. Delicious local eats will be available for purchase from the Chibby Wibbitz food truck (vegan and vegetarian available), and local bluegrass music will be performed by Coal Town Reunion.
