The TRCA Butterfly Festival is a FREE public event at Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) to celebrate an iconic insect as it embarks on an epic journey to Mexico over the winter months.
Located on the Toronto waterfront at the convergence of two major migratory flyways, Tommy Thompson Park (TTP) is Toronto’s largest greenspace and provides a critical roosting spot for migrating butterflies. More then 50 butterfly and moth species have been recorded at the park to date!
Join us at TRCA’s Butterfly Festival to learn about the incredible 4,000 km migration that takes place between August and November and begins with the gathering of Monarch butterflies at places like TTP.
A variety of activities will be offered for people of all ages! Go on a butterfly walk with a knowledgeable guide, take part in kid-friendly games and activities, learn about pollinator conservation at a community outreach booth, and more!
Pre-registration is required for some activities.
