Lake Almanor Annual Grebe Festival

Enjoy a pontoon boat or kayak trip to see nesting grebes or hike a wooded path with an expert to see the area’s bird life. These are just some of the kinds of outings being offered for participants to learn about nature and wildlife and to enjoy the outdoors. The festival will also include live music, bird walks, presentations, and vendor tables. 

The central meeting place for the Grebe Festival is the Plumas Pines Resort, in Canyondam, CA on the shores of Lake Almanor.

Although festival participation is free, due to limited capacity, registration is required for most events. 

The Plumas Audubon Society began hosting the Grebe Festival in 2016 to create more public awareness of western and Clark’s grebes, their conservation and how water management affects the grebes’ breeding success at Lake Almanor, and to celebrate these extraordinary birds.
