Nature Fest

Each spring, Concordia University Texas hosts Nature Fest, a week-long event dedicated to learning about and celebrating the unique natural setting of the University.

Nature Fest features tours of the nature preserve, live animal demonstrations, and more! Bring your family to enjoy Concordia's beautiful campus and preserve, and get to know the Office of Environmental Stewardship, who will guide tours of the preserve and Tornado Trail.

Most importantly, we encourage you to get outside for classes, meetings, prayer, and leisure throughout the year.
