8th Annual BeaverFest 2026

Join us for BeaverFest 2026, a family-friendly event that continues the Beavers & Brews tradition of celebrating the world of beavers and river restoration. This year’s event is for kids of all ages and will feature beaver-themed entertainment, games, learning activities, food, beverages, and beaver-themed tees and other merch. Learn about the great progress Watershed and partners have made in our Release the Beavers campaign and what you can do to continue to help restore our wetlands. 

Grab dinner from food trucks including The Curry Pot and enjoy refreshments, including non-alcoholic options and beaver-themed cocktails. This is a night not to miss at WMG’s hydro-local Living Lab, so bring your whole family, friends, and neighbors to help build our beaver believer community.

Advance tickets for adults 21+ are $25 in advance. The ticket price includes two drinks (door price $35).

Advance tickets for youth ages 14-20 are $15. The ticket price includes two non-alcoholic drinks (door price $25)

Anyone 13 and under goes free! (Two non-alcoholic drink tickets included)

Make a donation to fund our river restoration work: Make a donation when you purchase your tickets to help us reach our $100,000 summer fundraising goal. Donations fund our river restoration projects and planning and advocacy to protect our rivers and restore beaver populations. When you donate $100 or more, you will receive a photo print of Petunia the Beaver, a beaver that was spotted during our Fall 2025 San Pedro River beaver survey.

This event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN). The RRN is a program that honors the heritage of our rivers and the value that water holds for the peoples of Southern Arizona. We acknowledge the indigenous communities that have respected and stewarded our rivers for thousands of years and the Pascua Yaqui, Tohono O’odham, and Latino communities that continue to steward the rivers today. Members work together to learn about and steward our rivers through creek walks, restoration activities, river clean-ups, and educational workshops. If you are not yet a member, we will add you to the RRN when you register for this event. Membership is free and includes a regular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
