This cherished event has become a staple in the community, offering residents and visitors an opportunity to engage with nature through educational and entertaining activities.
Nature Fest was inaugurated in 2008 by The Howard Hughes Corporation, the developer behind Bridgeland, with the aim of fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world among attendees. Over the years, the festival has grown in popularity, attracting thousands of participants annually. In 2014, during the 7th Annual Nature Fest, the community set a Guinness World Record for the most people bird-calling simultaneously, highlighting its commitment to interactive and memorable nature experiences.
This year's festival will feature Corbin Maxey, a nationally recognized animal expert, YouTuber, and TV personality, as the headliner. Maxey, who cares for over 30 exotic animal rescues, has garnered nearly 2 billion views on his YouTube and TikTok channels. He is known for his engaging presentations and has appeared on programs such as "The Today Show" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers."
