WildWings Nature & Arts Festival
Our Artist-Painted Nest Box Show & Auction is back!
The WildWings Nature & Arts Festival (WNAF) was established in 2009, by the Somenos Marsh Wildlife Society. WNAF is an annual series of community events that bring attention to the biodiversity of the Cowichan Valley by using nature as a background to celebrate the interconnectedness of nature, art, culture, and community.
The WildWings Nature & Arts Festival is taking a pause for 2026 to evaluate some new directions for the festival in 2027. Plans for 2027 include our fabulous WildWings gala in October, which will return to being held at the Kuw’utsun’ Cultural and Conference Centre. Click over to our gallery to take a peek at the festivities from previous years.
But don’t worry, our amazing Artist-Painted Nest Box Auction is back for 2026! From Sept 27 to Oct 24, will be available for bidding. They’ll also be on display at our favourite Friend of Somenos, Just Jakes restaurant, in Downtown Duncan. You can find more information on our Nest Boxes page.
Thank you so much for everyone’s support in making WildWings and past Nestbox Art Show and Auctions a success!
