Butterfly Festival * 10:00am - 12:00pm *
Join us at our 23rd annual Watershed Butterfly Festival – an in-person celebration of family fun to share the joys and wonders of nature. The event will feature tours of the Kate Gorrie Butterfly House and the Insect Zoo. Enjoy music and live entertainment throughout the day, including animal shows featuring Eyes of the Wild and Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge. Young children will delight in being a part of the famous “Butterfly and Bug Parade” led by Lady Monarch, Ms. Allison. Adults and older children can learn about watersheds and the need to protect our rivers, lakes and streams through educational hands-on exhibits. Food and drink will be available for sale, and you can purchase butterfly wings and other fun items at the Watershed Nature Shop.
Please note that dogs are not permitted at the Butterfly Festival.
Sign up for one of three available two-hour sessions, 10:00 a.m.-12 noon, 12:30-2:30 p.m., and 3:00-5:00 p.m. Registration is strongly recommended, yet walk-ins are welcome!
Price: $10 per person or $25 per carload (up to six people). Parking will be on-site at the Watershed Center.
