Every spring, Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary bursts into life with Springfest — a season-long celebration of nature, creativity, and community. From hands-on workshops and engaging educational talks to family-friendly events and special wildlife encounters, Springfest offers something for everyone. It's our way of honouring the season of renewal and deepening our connection with the incredible environment we call home. Check out the full calendar to see what's blooming at the Sanctuary this Spring! 🌿
