Directed by Rosaura Gascón Villa and with the participation of young volunteers, at the opening ceremony was a tribute to Daniel Burgueño Zúñiga, who was an important part of the body of volunteers of the Festival and who died a few months ago.

He also invited all the Nayarites to participate in the activities that the Festival has programmed for a whole week.

In addition to the traditional Bird Watching Routes in different places of San Blas, the 2018 edition of the International Migratory Bird Festival includes numerous activities, such as the recovery of public spaces with the collaboration of civil society and environmental education work, through of workshops in the Primary School ‘Fray Junípero Serra’, as well as children’s dynamics in the Benito Juárez Children’s Garden.
