Now in its fifth year, the Monarch Festival is Habitat For All's culminating educational annual event. Spanning two days, the Monarch Festival is a free, family-friendly event that promotes habitat and biodiversity conservation by empowering us to reimagine our backyards as sanctuaries for pollinators. It teaches us that even small acts can collectively make a big difference.
