Liberty Wildlife celebrates our urban river, slicing through the Greater Phoenix area, and all the wildlife drawn to it. For over a thousand years human societies have been nourished by the river we know as the Rio Salado.

On March 7, 2026 we again celebrate this heritage, and express our appreciation of wildlife, in this second annual special event along the hiking/biking trail that follows the river, and concluding on our campus with music, art, and of course, wildlife.

Over 700 hundred people attended each of the previous festivals. The atmosphere features dozens of booths with kids crafts, jewelry, art of all kinds. Music fills the day with multiple performance locations. And food vendors will again delight guests with their tasty creations.

A dozen community conservation partners also exhibit booths with information about caring for our environment, river, parks and community.
