The Festival celebrates the unique migratory path that over 300 species of butterflies make their way through the natural flora and fauna of the Rio Grande Valley. Attendees can learn from internationally renowned speakers, see butterflies in their natural habitats on expert guided field trips and do a little shopping at the Nature and Butterfly EXPO.
Butterfly novices are welcome to be a part of the festival and learn via hands on programs and activities.
Advanced registration is recommended.
The Greater Mission Chamber of Commerce hosts the Texas Butterfly Festival.
