Winter Eagle Festival 2026 in Ulaanbaatar on March 7–8
Winter Eagle Festival Comes to Ulaanbaatar: March 7–8, 2026
This winter, Mongolia’s capital city will come alive with one of the country’s most spectacular cultural events — the Winter Eagle Festival, taking place in Ulaanbaatar on March 7th and 8th, 2026. Dream Mongolia Tour is excited to welcome travelers to experience this rare opportunity to witness the ancient art of eagle hunting in a winter setting, right in the heart of the capital.
The festival celebrates the centuries-old tradition of Kazakh eagle hunters, who have trained majestic golden eagles as hunting companions for generations. Traditionally practiced in western Mongolia’s Altai Mountains, this remarkable heritage is brought to Ulaanbaatar each winter, making it easily accessible for visitors while preserving its authentic spirit.
TWhat Makes the Winter Eagle Festival Special
Eagle hunting demonstrations, where skilled hunters command golden eagles in powerful displays of speed, precision, and trust
Traditional Kazakh costumes and parades, offering incredible photo opportunities
Cultural performances, including folk music, dances, and traditional games
Nomadic lifestyle exhibits, allowing guests to learn directly from eagle hunters and herders
Set against Ulaanbaatar’s snowy winter landscape, the festival creates a striking contrast between ancient traditions and modern city life — a truly memorable experience for culture lovers, photographers, and adventure travelers alike.
A Highlight of Mongolia’s Winter Events
The Winter Eagle Festival is more than a performance; it is a celebration of living heritage. It plays an important role in preserving eagle hunting traditions while introducing them to a wider international audience. For travelers visiting Mongolia in late winter or early spring, this festival is one of the best ways to experience authentic culture without traveling far from the capital.
