Flutter Fling

Join Buffalo Bayou Partnership for Flutter Fling, a summer butterfly extravaganza! Participate in butterfly crafts, and then join the Pollinator Parade from Lost Lake to the Jackson Hill Bridge, where you can spot butterflies at The Houston Monarch Story by Michelle Matthews, a living art piece that uses larger-than-life butterfly sculptures and a growing pollinator prairie to educate the community about the importance of native plants to butterflies.

Families can also enjoy a 90-minute Butterfly Walk (approximately 3 miles) led by Nancy Grieg, former director of the Cockrell Butterfly Center, beginning at 9 a.m. Flutter Fling is part of Summer Species: Butterflies, a series that celebrates the importance of butterflies to our bayou ecosystem from May – August 2024.
9-10:30 a.m.: Butterfly Walk or Kids Craft
11 a.m.: Pollinator Parade from Lost Lake to Jackson Hill Bridge
