Happy Bat Appreciation Month! 🦇 Celebrate by visiting us on October 24th from 10am-5pm for our 22nd Florida Bat Festival! 🎃
The Florida Bat Festival is a family-friendly fall celebration of bats, conservation, and community! Held annually at Lubee Bat Conservancy in Gainesville, Florida, this signature event brings together wildlife lovers, families, educators, and festival-goers for a full day of discovery, connection, and unforgettable experiences. 🦇
As one of the largest bat-centered conservation festivals in the United States, the Florida Bat Festival offers a uniquely immersive experience hosted directly by a bat conservancy. 🦇
At the Florida Bat Festival, you can:
• See Lubee’s resident bats
• Learn from conservation and wildlife education exhibits
• Explore interactive activities for children and families
• Shop local vendors and community partners
• Enjoy food trucks throughout the day
• Visit the Bats & Brews B**r Garden (21+)
As a conservation facility, animal welfare always comes first. Our bats participate in enrichment on their own terms.
