The 18th Annual Minneapolis Monarch Festival-Festival de la Monarca is Saturday, Sept. 12, 10 a.m.- 4 p.m., at Lake Nokomis Park.

Every year, millions of monarchs make the remarkable journey from their breeding grounds in Canada and the United States to the warmer climates of central Mexico. From Minnesota, they travel 2,300 miles beginning in late September and arriving in Mexico in early November. Monarchs are also the only butterfly species in North America that migrates!

The Minneapolis Monarch Festival celebrates the start of this journey with music, food, dance, hands-on art, and native plant sales. Visitors will learn where monarch butterflies live, what they do, and how to protect them while they’re here in Minneapolis.

In partnership with Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
