“The Pacific Flyway ranks as one of the greatest migratory pathways in the entire world, stretching from the Bering Strait off the coast of Alaska to the steeps of Patagonia in South America. Millions of birds representing hundreds of species use this great avian highway each year, and nowhere is this abundance of wildlife more accessible than right here in the Northern Sacramento Valley.” - Snow Goose Festival Overview

The Snow Goose Festival of the Pacific Flyway celebrates this legendary migration by hosting exciting educational workshops, field trips, and lectures. This year is the 26th annual Snow Goose Festival and it will begin with a banquet hosted at the Bell Memorial Union on Chico State campus on Saturday, January 24, 2026.
