The Cape May Fall Festival is October 15-18th, 2026 at the Cape May Convention Center (714 Beach Ave., Cape May, NJ 08204).
The Cape May Convention Hall will serve as the home of the festival marketplace and public activity center. All vendor exhibits will be located here, along with special demonstrations, presentations, and educational displays highlighting birds, wildlife, conservation, optics, photography, and nature tourism.
Festival activities held at the Convention Hall are open to the public and do not require festival registration. We encourage both festival participants and local visitors to stop by, meet exhibitors, learn about conservation efforts, and explore the many resources available to birders and nature enthusiasts. Swing by the Kowa booth to try our class-leading optics, and compare various models. The view of the beach and water behind the convention center provides an ideal testing ground for these optics, a great way to see how these perform in real field conditions!
