The Monarch Butterfly and Pollinator Festival will take place during peak Monarch butterfly migration week to celebrate San Antonio's unique place in the storied Monarch butterfly migration - right in the middle of the flyway.
The People for Pollinators Parade, lead by San Antonio’s Pedaling Pollinators and Earn-A-Bike Coop, kicks off the festivities with custom built bikes that resemble butterflies. Costumes are encouraged.
Two Monarch butterfly releases will be held at 10:30 am and 12 pm. Throughout the event, butterfly docents will hold demonstrations on How and Why to Tag a Monarch Butterfly.
The Pearl Farmers Market will include Monarch- and pollinator-themed food and drinks, Monarch Jeopardy, native plant sales and more.
