Local Events
Sharing the joy of birds and nature is at the core of everything we do at Wild Birds Unlimited of Alpharetta.
Additionally, we love playing an active role in the local community. We like to do this in a variety of ways by hosting educational presentations, having charity drives, donating to local causes, and offering local/Georgia made products. Our newest fun thing, we will be hosting local artists by providing a free space for them to have a Pop-Up shop outside our store on the weekends.
Here are some of the events we currently have scheduled. Please check back here or call the store to find out up-to--date scheduled events or changes.
