WildFest SA Program Overview: The program offers something for everyone: lectures, workshops, and field trips; cycling, paddling, hiking, birding, and star-gazing activities; special events at the San Antonio Zoo, Bracken Bat Cave, and other unique locales within San Antonio and the surrounding areas; and self-guided and structured events along the renowned River Walk, at the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, and at other cultural, natural, and environmental treasures.
The festival will be held at venues throughout Bexar (pronounced “bear”) County, from Medina Natural Area and Mitchell Lake Audubon Center in the south to Government Canyon in the west, Fredrich Park to the north, and the Botanical Garden just northeast of the heart of downtown San Antonio. Field trips, workshops, and seminars will focus on birds, plants, bats, history, art, archaeology, geology, water and other topics linked to nature.
