LeClaire Eagle Festival - Eagles & Ice

Every winter, majestic bald eagles make LeClaire their winter home, soaring through the skies high above the Mississippi River. Catch a glimpse of these magnificent birds of prey during the inaugural LeClaire Eagle Festival.

This free event offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see our incredible national symbol in its natural habitat while experiencing live eagle demonstrations by World Bird Sanctuary and educational opportunities in the warm comfort of the Celebration Center! A spotting scope on the Celebration Center rooftop patio will allow an up-close look without disturbing the eagles as they hunt for food.

 Living Lands and Waters, a nature and wildlife photographer, a storyteller, and others will be presenting during the festival on January 22, 11am-4pm. Local businesses will also host related special events and displays, including live ice sculpting on January 21, 1-4pm, and 22, 11am-2pm, to provide additional family-friendly activities.
