🐦Thousands of swifts. One historic chimney. One incredible night.

Join us for Swifts Night Out on Sept 12 at the Wagner Performing Arts Center in Monroe as thousands of Vaux's Swifts spiral into the historic Wagner chimney at dusk.

Free & family-friendly, with a presentation from swift expert Larry Schwitters, kids' art activities, and the 911 Grub food truck on site. Bring a blanket and your sense of wonder!

Programs start around 4:30, and the swifts usually appear around dusk. For more information, check out our event page: https://www.facebook.com/share/18DoDGnyZt/
