Monarch Festival at Art on the Parish Green

Each year, millions of monarch butterflies undertake an incredible journey—traveling up to 3,000 miles from Canada and the United States all the way to Mexico for winter. This September, you and your family can celebrate this natural wonder at the Monarch Festival, a two-day regional arts event hosted by the Arts Alliance of Southern Indiana. Head to St. Paul's Episcopal Church in New Albany to explore butterfly-themed activities and artistic experiences that bring this amazing migration to life. The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days and is completely free to attend, making it an affordable outing for families. Whether your kids are butterfly enthusiasts or just looking for a fun weekend activity, this event offers a chance to learn about nature while enjoying local arts and culture.
