WOWE is back!
The Winter Outdoor Wildlife Expo returns to the South Padre Island Birding, Nature Center & Alligator Sanctuary on Feb. 5th-7th, 2026 for its 30th year showcasing the treasures of South Texas and the Lower Laguna Madre with fascinating presentations by field experts in topics like pollinators, native plants, birds of prey and other coastal wildlife!
This February, attendees can expect three excitement-filled days (Feb. 2nd-4th) of pre-expo tours to the Bahia Grande and other local wildlife refuges to gear them up to the three days of enthralling nature presentations and informative exhibits from local wildlife and conservation organizations. Jonathan Wood returns with his nationally acclaimed "The Raptor Project" show and - for the first time in WOWE history - GATOR COUNTRY, our sister alligator sanctuary, joins us on the final day of the expo with two impressive shows featuring their incredible reptile ambassadors!
So get ready to immerse yourself in the natural splendor of South Texas and the lower Laguna Madre as we mark 30 years of the Winter Outdoor Wildlife Expo this February 2026!
Details on pre-expo field trips, guest speakers, and photo contest registration will be available at a later date. Be sure to check out spibirding.org/wowe for updates on this event.
