The 25th Butterfly Festival is this weekend, Saturday, October 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors are invited to come and see why the City of Mission is a hotspot for butterflies and has gained worldwide recognition for those beautiful fliers.

 

The community day will give attendees the opportunity to make their own banana brew, attend ‘Butterfly U’, enjoy arts and crafts and more. Vendors and exhibits will be set up in the visitor’s pavilion and in the gardens for all to enjoy. The center is located at 3333 Butterfly Park Drive.

The festival also provides attendees with a remarkable and rewarding outdoor experience. Registrants will spend three days exploring renowned public lands and private properties with world-class trip leaders, where they might reasonably expect to see more than 60 species in a day. Check their website at www.texasbutterflyfestival.com to see if any spots are still available.

Organizers are excited to be able to gather again; to have the commitment of quality guides; and to enjoy the outdoors, safely, for the love of butterflies. The excursions are scheduled for October 30 through November 2, with registration packet pickup on October 30.
