Description
For 26 years, the Boston Nature Center has opened its doors for one of the most beloved city community celebrations highlighting local birds that rock.
Rockin' with Raptors brings together live birds of prey from the Blue Hills Trailside Museum, nature-themed crafts, face painting, trail exploration, a cookout with music and entertainment, and educational tables hosted by BNC staff and partner organizations from across Boston's environmental and cultural community.
Whether you're discovering raptors for the first time or reconnecting with this fall favorite, there's something for every age and every neighbor. Rain or shine, come celebrate the nature in your city.
