Come and interact with live butterflies in the Butterfly House.

If you have never attended this festival before, we encourage you to do so. This festival is one of a kind and is sure to take your breath away with the beautiful live release of over 1000 butterflies at 4pm on the Viceroy berm. The butterflies will hang around for a little while before beginning their migration to Mexico. All Media is welcome!
