ROSWELL
Butterfly Festival
Behold the beauty of the butterflies as they fill the air at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Walk through an exhibit filled with hundreds of different types of the fluttering creatures, grab a plant to attract some in your own backyard and get a few tips on how to capture them on film from the Georgia Nature Photographers Association. Twice a day on June 3 and 4, the center will release live butterflies out into the wild, filling the air with tiny, flapping wings. In addition to the colorful main attraction, the festivities will include snacks from on-site food trucks, live music, sidewalk art and fairy houses.
10 a.m.-3 p.m. June 3; noon-5 p.m. June 4. $12; $8 for center members; free for kids younger than 2. Chattahoochee Nature Center, 9135 Willeo Road, Roswell. 770-992-2055, chattnaturecenter.org.
