Although the weather doesn’t feel like spring right now, we’re hoping it will at least warm up by our newest event of the year — Monarchs & Milkweed Festival on Saturday, June 23.

At this summer event, you are invited to come celebrate and learn about native pollinators and plants at our family-friendly festival, held at LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve.

We’ll be giving away milkweed plants! There will be guided hikes in the prairie, crafts, butterfly house kits, live music, food truck and more!

Come join us at this free festival, from noon – 3 p.m.
