This event aims to celebrate butterflies and pollinators, educate people about their importance in our every-day lives, raise awareness about the critical decline that many species are facing, and empower everyone to support pollinators and help regrow their dwindling numbers.
This is a family-friendly community festival! On two stages, fantastic performers, dance troops, and live bands will delight you with their talents. Children’s FREE games and hands-on activities will entertain young ones throughout the day. Musical performances fill the air—dancing is not required, but it is definitely recommended!

Wine and beer will be available, and a variety of booths will provide an array of tasty non-alcoholic beverages.
