GooseFest at Montrose Basin
About This Event
Join us this October for our inaugural GooseFest, marking the arrival of these incredible birds to the Basin and celebrating 30 years of the Montrose Basin Visitor Centre.
Seeing the first skeins of geese flying overhead is a significant moment in nature’s calendar – a sure sign that autumn is upon us. This year, we’re marking this magical moment with our very first GooseFest and we hope you’ll join us.
From family activities at the visitor centre to a chance to take to the Basin on a rowing boat, there’s something for everyone.
