First Annual Monarch Fest
March 4, 2016 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Event Navigation
San Antonio is the FIRST and ONLY Monarch Butterfly Champion in the nation. Join the San Antonio Zoo, City of San Antonio, UTSA, San Antonio River Authority and more for this great event celebrating butterflies and learn how you too can help end extinction of the Monarch Butterfly!
We will distribute 1,500 milkweed seeds at its Monarchs, Milkweed and Migration Festival at the Zoo, which will take place Friday, March 4, 10:30 a.m.-2p.m. Events will include a butterfly release at the Zoo’s butterfly house, insect presentations and displays, crafts, games and more. The festival will take place just as migrating Monarchs begin their nine-month migratory trek, leaving their ancestral winter roosts in Michoacán, Mexico, and heading heading our way in search of milkweed on which to lay the eggs that will become future generations of migrants.
(The event is free but you will have to pay Zoo admission.)
