As Hummingbirds make their pilgrimage to southern Mexico for the winter, the International Hummingbird society is hosting the fifth annual Hummingbird Festival in Sedona.
The July 29-31 event will be hosted at the Sedona Performing Arts Center and at various spots around Sedona, featuring lectures from hummingbird experts from across the country.
Tickets are available at the door or online through July 20.
The festival is scheduled to correspond with an influx of hummingbirds that flutter through Sedona on their way to southern Mexico, where they spend the winter months.
During this time, Sedona’s hummingbird population swells exponentially, with up to seven different species present as opposed to the two species that typically inhabit the area.
In the months leading up to this migratory event, the residents and businesses of Sedona are encouraged to plant hummer-friendly flowers or place feeders on their properties.
