Sedona Hummingbird Festival

The 12th Annual Sedona Hummingbird Festival is a can’t-miss event! Presented by the International Hummingbird Society, the festival is an intensive 3-day celebration and learning event located in the heart of Sedona’s spectacular red rock landscape. It offers an astounding array of activities:

• 14 different speaker presentations on various hummingbird topics 
• Birding field trips
• Hummingbird garden tours
• Banding demonstrations where you have the opportunity to hold a hummingbird
• Breakfasts with hummingbirds
• A Hummingbird Marketplace filled with hummingbird-related supplies and gifts
• An amazing raffle
• Photo contest
• Festival dinner
• Kids Day featuring crafts, activities, and live animals
• Plant sale
• Pre-festival workshops on hummingbird photography and painting 
• New this year: morning yoga with hummingbirds!

The stars of the event are the hummingbirds! There are dozens of hummingbirds at the feeders right at Hummingbird Central (also known as the Sedona Performing Arts Center). You can see even more hummingbirds at our banding locations and on the Gardens Tour. As many as eight species of hummers can be found in the Sedona area during the festival – how many will you see?

Registration opens at 8 AM Arizona time on May 1, 2026.

Thanks to Sedona’s high altitude of 4,500 feet, the temperature is cooler than in more southern parts of Arizona, and lodging is lower at this time of year. Participants can also enjoy Sedona’s Red Rock Scenic Byway (7.5 miles), Oak Creek Canyon, Scenic Jeep Tours, miles of hiking trails, mountain biking, winemaking, and galleries. There is no prettier place in America to see hummers.
