Mountain Plover Festival
March 6, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
The Mountain Plover is a bird that begins to arrive on Colorado’s Eastern Plains in early April. Plovers find the area’s short grass prairie and fallow fields to be excellent nesting grounds. Limited to 50 attendees!
What is the Karval Mountain Plover Festival?
The Karval Mountain Plover Festival began when Karval community members were looking at economic opportunities for this small community. We decided to “bring the bird lovers to the bird”. This is a weekend full of bird watching, Wildlife viewing tours, entertainment, history, arts and crafts, antiques, and LOTS OF GOOD FOOD! Along with bird watching, here are some of the other things you will enjoy:
- You’ll get the chance to mingle with farmers and ranchers who choose to live in the local community and learn about their lifestyle.
- Eat home-style food at every meal. Most meals are prepared by the communites non-profit organizations.
- Saturday evening includes a Chuck Wagon dinner with authentic western entertainment.
- Learn about conservation practices and the history of the area.
- Tour Private Land that would normally not be accessible.
- Make new friends!
