The COVID pandemic hit the United States in 2020 shortly before the Sandhill Crane Festival in Othello, Washington, was scheduled to start. Because of continued restrictions on large gatherings and safety concerns this year, organizers moved the festival online for anyone interested to enjoy.

The festival is Saturday, March 20, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Pacific time. Registration is $10.
