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.
