Pelican Fest

About Us
Windsor is a unique Colorado city because each May flocks of stately white pelicans land on its lakes for a month long respite during the bird's migratory trek to the upper reaches of the North American Continent. The Town of Windsor has portrayed the majestic bird on its "Welcome' signs and literature for years, and its residents marvel at the bird's unique appearance and annual visits.

Much like the swallows are an infamous and popular migratory bird which returns each year to the Capistrano coastal region of California - the pelicans are also a celebrated seasonal visitor to the Town of Windsor and its lakes. Such a unique, natural and timeless occurrence is worth honoring and publicizing. And because of the pelican's unusual and unlikely association with the Town of Windsor, so too, should be the event which observes the transcontinental passage of the pelican.
