From the Bats and Bluegrass Festival

Experience the magic of the Ozarks at dusk! Bats and Bluegrass returns to IRWP’s Watershed Sanctuary in Cave Springs. This year marks 20 years of conservation for the Illinois River Watershed Partnership, and we’re celebrating with live music from Sons of Otis Malone, hands-on watershed education, nature hikes, scavenger hunts, nature journaling, and the seasonal emergence of Gray Bats from the Sanctuary's cave. This signature event is a vibrant blend of local culture, conservation, and community.

This is a ticketed event.
