To celebrate the migration of monarch butterflies through the region—on their way from Canada to Mexico—Grapevine held its 24th annual Butterfly Flutterby event on Saturday, Oct. 16.

The butterfly-themed costume parade and contest traveled through Grapevine’s Downtown Historic District. Live butterfly releases followed the parade at Grapevine Botanical Gardens at Heritage Park, along with a number of other activities for those in attendance. The event was hosted by the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Although the event was free to attend, proceeds from snacks on sale will go to student scholarships for Grapevine's Sister City program, for professional and educational exchanges, and the Girls Home in Parras de la Fuente, Mexico.
