A night of inspiring music at the Butterfly Pavilion
The Butterfly Pavilion, founded in 1995, is the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit stand-alone invertebrate zoo in the nation, and is dedicated to fostering an appreciation of butterflies and other invertebrates while educating the public about the need for conservation of threatened habitats in the tropics and around the world. With butterflies purchased from farmers in the tropics, the Butterfly Pavilion supports sustainable agriculture in rainforests worldwide preventing deforestation and habitat loss. The Butterfly Pavilion provides youth education programs, volunteer opportunities and lifelong learning experiences to approximately 300,000 visitors annually on-site and off-site.
