2026 Wildlife Festival
Get ready for our annual Wildlife Festival!
Fun for the whole pack! Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, outdoor adventurer, budding artist, or just looking for a great way to spend a summer day in Island Park, there’s something for everyone. Explore hands-on activities, educational booths, games, crafts, local food vendors, and exciting opportunities to connect with the people and organizations working to conserve the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Kids can unleash their creativity in our Youth Art Contest, where they’ll have the chance to win cash prizes and see their artwork featured in future Bear Aware outreach campaigns. This year’s theme, “Wild About Bear Safety!”, challenges young artists to help inspire safe coexistence between people and bears in bear country.
Don’t miss our FABULOUS FUNDRAISING RAFFLE packed with fantastic prizes, including outdoor gear, wildlife prints, outdoor experiences, stays at some of Island Park’s finest lodging establishments, and more. Every ticket supports local conservation efforts and gives you a chance to take home something amazing.
Bring your family, invite your friends, and join us in celebrating the wildlife, wild places, and vibrant community that make the Henrys Fork region so special. Come learn, explore, create, and make memories at one of Island Park’s most exciting summer events!
