Fall Wildflower & Pollinator Festival

Wildflower and Pollinator Festival, October 5, 2024
The annual family-friendly Wildflower and Pollinator Festival returns to Brooker Creek Preserve this year on Saturday, October 5 from 9:00-2:00!
This year’s festival will include some of the most popular activities like:
• Butterfly Encounter – wander through a butterfly enclosure for an up-close encounter with our winged wonders
• Native Plant Vendors – local nurseries will be offering native plants perfect for planting your own pollinator garden at home
• Wildflower Quest – discover native wildflowers at the Preserve on a short, self-guided hike and receive a prize!
• Arts and Crafts – Pollinator-themed arts and crafts suitable for the whole family, all day in the Auditorium
• Refreshments – MyCone Creamery will be on-site offering delicious, custom-made coffee and decadent ice cream
• Tattoo Station – visitors can wear a delightful temporary tattoo designed by Florida Artist Kate Dolamore of Kate Dolamore Art.
In addition to these favorites, this year’s festival will also include a real honeybee hive demonstration and a chance to learn more about these European helpers that make local honey. Author Linda Smock will be reading her newest book: Black-eyed Susan and Friends. The book follows a child exploring a garden stopping along the way through the pages of the book to explain about the pollinators they see along the way. Great for families!
Parking for the event is first-come first served.
Dogs and pets are not allowed at the Preserve.
