Event Details

Free wildlife festival!

Where else can you see a giant beaver skull, a 1500-gallon aquarium on wheels, an 18- piece jazz band, a children’s parade, live displays of raptors, owls,and bats, and an award winning chalk artist all while learning the story firsthand of the rodent that made one forgotten city famous? Only one place and that’s the Martinez beaver Festival. Returning for its 17th time the festival is free family fun where you can learn all about beavers, citizen science, urban wildlife, community involvement, and how to combat drought, fires and global warming one beaver at a time.

There are other beaver festivals now around the country and many more books and a Pixar block buster  to explain why beavers matter, but this is the one that inspired them all. Come see for yourself why beavers are Worth A Dam.
