The Karval Mountain Plover Festival is a weekend of bird watching, wildlife viewing tours, entertainment, history, arts and crafts, antiques, and lots of good food!
The Karval Mountain Plover Festival began when Karval, Colorado community members were looking at economic opportunities for this small community. We decided to “bring the bird lovers to the bird”. Along with bird watching, here are some of the other things you will enjoy: You’ll get the chance to mingle with farmers and ranchers who choose to live in the local community and learn about their lifestyle. Eat home style food at every meal. Most meals are prepared by the community’s non-profit organizations. Saturday evening includes a country dinner with authentic western entertainment. Learn about conservation practices and history of the area. Tour Private Land that would normally not be accessible. Make new friends! In 2025 the festival takes place on April 25, 26, and 27.
