Artwork for the poster featuring a Great Blue Heron by Yvonne Bowman.

This festival began in 2006 and after missing several years, returned last year in 2024.  It has always had a contest to select a local artist to design artwork for the poster. See the artists selected over the years at Snow Goose Festival Collection.
