Sandhill Crane Festival 2024 Nebraska. Along with the cranes, come millions of migrating ducks and geese in the neighboring rainwater basins. Every march, over a million sandhill cranes converge on the platte river valley in central nebraska to fuel up before continuing north to their nesting grounds.
At the monte vista crane festival you can enjoy thousands of sandhill cranes, ducks, and geese flying against a backdrop of mountain scenery. Twenty miles (32 kilometers) from rowe sanctuary, the city of kearney also hosts the annual audubon nebraska’s crane festival to mark the migration season every march.
