Blooming with Birdie, in partnership with the Brackenridge Park Conservancy, is throwing a pollinator party like no other—and you’re invited! The Monarch Butterfly & Pollinator Festival is back—and buzzier than ever—with a day of nature-based experiences, hands-on activities, and joyful community connection. Come celebrate the 10th year of learning about the ecosystem that connects us all.

For our returning friends, expect improved parking, more food and drink options, and, of course, new immersive experiences!

Follow @bloomingwithbirdie on Instgram to stay up to date with the latest information.

This year’s highlights include:

  • New! Pollinator Picnic - Host butterflies, bats, bees, moths, and birds at your picnic while you bring Texas native flowers, utensils, and a curious mind to discover who pollinates what!
  • New! Caterpillar Clamber & Nature Playscape - Slip into your stripes and wiggle your way through a nature playscape in a monarch race to milkweed!
  • Lights Out! Bird City Maze – Fly as a bird on a night time migratory journey in an 1800 sq ft maze to explore how lights impact our feathered friends.
  • Monarch Migration Obstacle Course – Experience the monarch migration as a butterfly as you metamorphosize and overcome fun, interactive challenges.
  • Hands-On Learning – Visit 40+ booths provided by local non-profits, educators, artists, and scientists with fun, educational activities
  • People as Pollinators Experiment – Bee-come a pollinator, go through metamorphosis, and learn how essential YOU are to the ecosystem.
  • Monarch Tagging – Become a citizen scientist and help track monarch migration by placing harmless stickers on monarch butterflies.
  • Critter Collective- Follow your curiosity and engage with Litter Bugs, the Pollinator Posse, and more to learn about how you can actively make positive change in our ecosystem.

Whether you're here to learn, play, tag butterflies, or simply enjoy a beautiful day outdoors, there's something for everyone.

Let’s celebrate a decade of pollinator magic—together. See you at the park!
