Every January, when the melons are in season and black-faced spoonbills are circling in the sky, Chiku Farmers Association puts on a "Muskmelon Festival," so that as well as enjoying the sight of the spoonbills, visitors can also take part in activities such as pickling baby melons, painting melons and making oyster-shell art.
而七股鄉更於每年一月份，洋香瓜盛產、黑面琵鷺翱翔的時節舉辦「洋香瓜文化季」，讓民眾前來觀賞黑面琵鷺之餘，也能參與七股鄉農會推出的瓜綿製作、彩繪洋香瓜、蚵殼創作藝術。
