Where to Go Wednesday is taking us to Grapevine for something a little different this weekend!
The 29th Annual Butterfly Flutterby is happening Saturday, October 17, celebrating the monarch butterflies making their annual migration from Canada to Mexico, right through North Texas.
Bring the family, and even your pets, for a day of live butterfly releases, arts and crafts, butterfly photo opportunities, costume contests, and plenty of colorful garden scenery. There will also be snacks and butterfly merchandise available for purchase.
Here’s what you need to know before you go:
Location: Grapevine Botanical Gardens at Heritage Park, 411 Ball Street, Grapevine, TX
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026
Time: 10 AM–2 PM
Admission: FREE!
Live Butterfly Releases: 11 AM, 11:45 AM, 12:30 PM, and 1:30 PM
Additional Activities: Mayoral Monarch Pledge at 10:45 AM, costume contests, crafts, and butterfly photo opportunities. Tie-dye T-shirts are available for a $2 activity fee.
All four butterfly releases take place right at the Botanical Gardens, so you won’t have to travel between locations.
It’s a fun way to spend a Saturday outdoors, learn a little about monarch migration, and enjoy one of Grapevine’s prettiest spots. And with free admission, it’s an easy outing to add to your weekend plans.
