Location: Various locations in Invermere from May 8 to 14

It's in the Columbia Valley not the Bow Valley, but check out the 21st annual Wings over the Rockies Festival in Invermere — aptly named Birds, Bats, Bears and Beyond.

The festival will bring in experts to provide insights into the lives of these animals and the conservation challenges protecting them.

It will feature Danny Catt, an internationally known conservationist, photographer and environmental educator, as the keynote speaker at the gala.
