This annual event is offered to engage local families and nature tourists about the high-quality habitats and wildlife that can be found in the lower Pascagoula River basin in Jackson and George counties, Mississippi.

Discover – the wonders of nature at any of five community-sponsored events that highlight the unique aspects of the local landscape and organisms that occur in their “place” on the river. Community events include:

• Hands-on activities focused on local flora and fauna,
• Nature and boat tours of local environments, and
• Workshops and clinics focused on learning more about the natural world around us.

Connect – to nature by participating in one of eight guided (for fee) events that explore the flora and fauna of this unique river system.

Conserve – by participating in community-sponsored clean-up events scheduled as a lead up to the festival.

• Come join us as we celebrate why the Pascagoula River basin is a “jewel” in the “crown” of high-quality “wild” places on the gulf coast that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
• Learn why this region is a high-quality nature tourist destination and how you can help keep it that way for generations to come.
