Description
21st Annual Watershed Butterfly Festival
SATURDAY, AUG. 7
10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Join us on Saturday, August 7 at our 21st annual Watershed Butterfly Festival – an in-person celebration of family fun to share the joys and wonders of nature. We are glad to be able to return to an in-person event and we look forward to seeing you.
The event will feature tours of the Kate Gorrie Butterfly House, and the Insect Zoo. Enjoy music and live entertainment by the Trenton Circus Squad and Eyes of the Wild (an exotic animal rescue show). 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.
The festival will be by advanced registration only this year. Due to Covid-19, space at the Butterfly Festival will be limited to 250 persons per session and our activities will be held in a safe manner.
Register for one of two available two-hour sessions, 12:30-2:30 p.m., and 3:00-5:00 p.m. (The 10:00 a.m.-12 noon session has sold out).
Watershed Members get FREE entry to the Butterfly Festival, but must pre-register!
