It's time for our annual celebration of all things butterflies and pollinators. The Butterfly Festival will be held on Saturday, March 16, at Panorama Park in Cathedral City from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. We have lots of activities planned for kids and families, including wildflower planting, mini-pot decorating, recycled crafts, and much more. Every child receives a copy of the fun and fact-filled book, "The Truth About Butterflies" by Maxwell Eaton III, courtesy of Cathedral City Evening Rotary & Mayor Mark Carnevale.

In anticipation of the festival, kids of all ages can participate in our Butterfly Art Contest. All the details are below and if you need materials, kits are available at S.C.R.A.P. Gallery and the Cathedral City Library.
