Bird conservation and research is made possible by people who care.
If Nestival sounds like something worth having in our community, consider making a small donation to help cover the cost of putting it on.
Every dollar we raise beyond our expenses goes straight to the F.M. Weston Audubon Society., an organization doing meaningful work to support the birds we're all here to celebrate.
Want to be part of the team that makes Nestival happen?
We're looking for volunteers to help with setup, activities, experience, and more. No experience necessary, just a love of community.
Sponsoring Nestival is a meaningful way to put your brand in front of engaged, community-minded Pensacola residents while supporting a free public event that benefits everyone. All sponsorship proceeds help cover event costs, with any overflow going directly to the F.M. Weston Audubon Society.
