What to Know about the Port Aransas Event
The Port Aransas area calendar of events is filled with memorable happenings year-round. One of the year's most anticipated events is the Whooping Crane Festival. Taking place toward the end of February, the four-day event traces its roots back to 1996. The annual gathering at the Port Aransas Civic Center celebrates the return of the cranes to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, their wintering habitat.
As part of this festival, you have the chance to go on several birding tours, both on land and sea. Set off on an almost five-hour tour through the national refuge. Given the distance to this attraction, we recommend leaving a full day open in your schedule. Other excursions include a Mustang Island boat tour, a birding bus tour, and a kayak tour. Visit the festival website to purchase tickets for your preferred outing.
There are also several speaker and workshop presentations. Hear from experts in their field on several topics related to cranes and other topics. Before or after one of these presentations, be sure to wander the trade show filled with nature-related booths and conservation organization representatives.
