The 2026 Brant Wildlife Festival is scheduled to take place from Friday, April 10, to Monday, April 13, 2026. The detailed schedule will be finalized and published early in the new year.

In celebration of the 35th Brant Wildlife Festival, we’re planning a full weekend of activities for families and the next generation of nature enthusiasts! Highlights include a free Family Skate at Oceanside Place with DJ Connor and face painting in the Pond, the Brant Family Free Swim at Ravensong Pool, a Pancake Breakfast, and the Eagle Release at NIWRA.

Families can also enjoy the Wood Carving Show at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre, Family Movie Night, the Deep Bay Marine Field Station Open House, Brant in the Bay, Basic Bird ID and Birdwatching, and the Amazing Places GeoTour, along with our regular guided nature walks and citizen science opportunities.

In 2025 more than 150 volunteers and 10 community groups helped host over 30 events to nearly 3,000 guests
