Arizona's longest running nature festival, Southwest Wings is an educational celebration of the diversity of birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects, in their unique environment; the sky islands in southern Arizona.

Southwest Wings is held in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Some of the educational highlights of the Birding and Nature Festival will be Mexican Birds, Trogon, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Ornithology, Humming Birds, Bats, Bugs, Snakes, and Owls. It takes place in the spectacular high desert environment of Cochise County, home to the Huachuca Mountains and the San Pedro River.

The Southwest Wings Nature Festival is a nonprofit educational organization, chartered as a 501(c)(3) under IRS guidelines. There are no members, only a board of directors, and therefore no membership dues to provide income. The festival is the major event put on by the group. Additional tax deductible donations to support the organization's goals are always welcome. The organization's purpose is to promote nature-based tourism and environmental awareness in southeastern Arizona.
