Elk Antler Auction
Elkfest, a weekend of activities built around the world famous Jackson Hole Boy Scout Elk Antler Auction, is an exciting time for celebrating nature, outdoor skills, hunting and ecological education and awareness. The event takes place each year during the third weekend of May.
Every spring, thousands of elk wintering on the National Elk Refuge lose their antlers before they migrate to their summer range. The Boy Scouts harvest the shed antlers and auction them to bidders from around the world who make furniture, wall decorations, jewelry and food products from them. Watching the auction and wildlife in the parks, enjoying the quiet season of Jackson Hole and sharing family fun at the Scout Exposition has long been a spring tradition. more info
Nearly all of the family-oriented events are free of charge and any event that does charge a fee is benefiting a non-profit organization.
Come out to Jackson Hole and share in this expanded festival of nature and her bounty!
