Started in 2004 to celebrate Smokey’s 60th birthday,
Smokey Bear Days has become an annual 2-day event
held the first Friday, Saturday in May.
The Smokey Bear Days’ mission is to promote the fire
prevention message and educate visitors to the Capitan area
about the dangers of unwanted, human-caused wildfires.
Smokey Bear’s first appearance was in a 1944 CFFP
poster. The history of Smokey’s Fire Prevention campaign
and the cub found in the Capitan Mountains has international
impact. Discover the story at Smokey Bear Historical Park
