Join us June 29th from 10-3 in Susana Park, Martinez.

The Beaver Festival is finally back! Show your support for urban beavers and join your friends and favorite nature organizations at the did 15th festival celebrating the Martinez Beavers. Beavers have become big news lately but this is the festival that started it all.

Don’t miss our many nature displays, children’s activities, excellent music, silent auction and dynamic chalk mural by Amy Gallaher Hall of Napa. Learn why beavers are “superheroes” when it comes to helping us cope with climate change and why more cities should be teaming up with them like Martinez did.

2024 Press Release

If you’ve never been to a beaver festival these reports from past years will give you an idea of what to expect:

Park in Martinez. (The historic tree filled park on Estudillo and Susana, (8 blocks up form our original location). In addition to being a nicer venue, with actual resident beavers in the neighboring creek, it will feature the amazing talents of artist Amy Gallaher Hall of Napa, who happens to love beavers and the role they play in creek restoration.

She will be demonstrating her artistry in action on the central plaza drawing how beavers help wildlife. Children will be encouraged to chalk their creations as well. We are planning lots of special additions to brighten the day. Including the newly designed “walk of fame” showing off beavers’ many benefits and why they matter.

Be sure to check out our silent auction!
