Othello Sandhill Crane Festival

For  over two decades we have celebrated the annual return of nearly 35,000  sand hill cranes to Othello, Washington every March as they migrate  north to their breeding grounds in Alaska.  The Festival offers an  incredible opportunity to view the cranes up-close, with tours led by  local experts.  The Festival also boasts other specialty tours of the  flora, fauna and geology of the area, and many lectures, as well as  children's activities.

The Festival has grown over the years with returning participants attending from across the country.
