The Red Hills Fire Festival, hosted at Tall Timbers, returns on February 3 (February 10 rain date) from 11:00 to 3:00. This all-ages fun educational event about prescribed fire and its benefits is hosted in the Red Hills on even years.

Fire Fest is free and open to the public. It’s an all-ages good time with live music, prescribed fire demonstration, live wildlife, wagon ride tours of healthy, fire-maintained forests, hands-on fire equipment, kids’ activities, and food vendors. Fire Festival happens through the collaborative effort of over 30 organizations pulling together around the central understanding that fire is a critical part of land stewardship in our region.
