The East Coast Vulture Festival is a celebration of vultures-these misunderstood birds that in our culture have so often been associated with sinister scenes of death and gothic horror. The East Coast Vulture Festival is an afternoon and evening of fun, entertainment and education, which celebrates vultures with educational presentations, music, arts & crafts, and dance and provides an opportunity to enlighten the public on the beneficial role of vultures in maintaining a clean and healthy environment. This is a unique event, the only festival honoring vultures on the entire eastern seaboard of the United States.
