- Flocking South for the 37th Annual HummerBird Celebration -

Each autumn, the skies over Texas’s Gulf Coast fill with tiny wings and vibrant feathers — hummingbirds on migration, coming through Rockport-Fulton for one of the state’s most beloved birding festivals: the HummerBird Celebration. This year marks the 37th annual gathering, September 18-21, 2025.

If you're even a little interested in birds, wildlife, nature photography, or just peaceful coastal beauty, this festival is a must. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Birding field trips and guided tours through coastal refuges and hidden viewing spots
  • “Hummer Home” bus tours with chances to see hummingbirds up close
  • Presentations from experts on habitat, migratory patterns, and conservation
  • A lively “Hummer Mall” with vendors, food, live music, and shopping
