Join us for a fun and interactive family program where we’ll explore the amazing journeys of migrating birds! Using real-time maps from BirdCast, we’ll peek into the nighttime skies to see how millions of birds travel across the continent. Kids and their families will flap their wings, land in “stopover habitats,” and face migration challenges in a lively hula hoop game that brings the migration story to life. Together, we’ll learn how we can help birds on their travels—from turning off lights at night to creating bird-friendly backyards. Perfect for elementary-aged children and curious parents alike.

Free Parking, Free Admission! Come see all the cars, trucks, and motorcycles, while enjoying the day with family and friends. Food, live music, vendors, pine derby races, bouncy house, and awesome bakery sale. Take a look at all the fun raffle items and check out all the auction items.

The Briscoe is excited to invite guests and members of the museum to participate in our community Ofrenda (Altar) in celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

The Day of the Dead Holiday is thought to have grown from Indigenous origins blending with European traditions in Mexico and today is a national symbol of Mexican and Mexican-American heritage.

The Briscoe’s Ofrenda commemorates loved ones of the museum’s staff, community and the West. Museum guests and members are invited to add photos of lost loved ones and your personal offering.
