It’s a party for the pollinators!
 
On June 25, the Butterfly Pavilion is holding its first Pollinator Palooza Festival with activities for the whole family, a free outdoor concert, artisan pollinator market and more!
 
What: Pollinator Palooza Festival featuring a free live outdoor concert with John King, Nashville artist on the west lawn, farmer’s market with booths connected to pollinators, food trucks, free pollinator face painting and character profile art, guided garden tours and more! 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Concert is from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.  

Why: Pollinators, such as bees, beetles, butterflies, and flies are critical for our economy, environment, and agriculture. Pollinators help sustain our ecosystems and produce our natural resources by helping plants reproduce.  

      • Almost a third of crops depend on insect pollinators 
      • Over 80% of flowering plants depend on insect pollinators 
      • Implications for soil, water, and climate resilience 

Yet, pollinator populations are in decline. Butterfly Pavilion is a leader in pollinator protection and conservation and engages the community with opportunities to get involved with us. Pollinator Palooza events provide a great opportunity for people to learn about pollinators while having fun and finding out ways that they can get involved in pollinator conservation.
