El Portal Sedona Hotel ~ The First Hummingbird Festival in Sedona!

The Sedona Hummingbird Festival will take place August 3-5, sponsored by the Hummingbird Society. An estimated 300-500 people will attend the first year of this exciting 3 day event! August is when Sedona’s hummingbird population is highest and most diverse.

The Hummingbird Society was created as a nonprofit organization to teach people about hummingbirds so they will understand them better, and from understanding and caring will come support for their protection.  Hummingbirds appear tiny and delicate, the average hummer weighs only about 1/10 ounce (3-4 grams); yet they are hardy and resilient. Some species annually migrate as much as 3,000 miles each way!

The festival will include a Gala Banquet, presentations on  gardening, science, photography, and conservation, a Hummingbird Garden Tour, the Hummingbird Mall, Hummingbird Sunrise Breakfasts, banding demonstrations, hummingbird hot spots and more!
