Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s 2026 National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic, concluded today at the Minneapolis Convention Center. A crowd of 28,852 supporters flocked to the annual gathering. The event celebrated the habitat, access, advocacy and education initiatives fueling North America’s leading upland habitat conservation group.
“The upland community - including all of our members, partners and supporters - always shows up for the nation’s largest gathering of bird hunters, dog owners, and habitat conservationists to celebrate habitat, public lands and the wildlife we hold dear,” said Marilyn Vetter, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s president and CEO. “We sincerely can’t thank the upland community enough.”
Next year, National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic returns to Omaha, Nebraska! This will be the organization’s fifth trip to Omaha, and the first since 2022. Please join us next year, as chapters, members, exhibitors, speakers and attendees celebrate the accomplishments and mission of The Habitat Organization on March 5-7, 2027, at the CHI Health Center.
