About the event
One of our largest and most well-known festivals, Insectival, will return to the garden this year! Participants will meet and interact with a variety of entomological experts and their buggy friends. Activities include presenter booths, a puppet show and the popular butterfly release on the Flower Garden lawn. Join garden staff and partners as we celebrate our beloved six-legged neighbors. Insectival is sponsored by the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, UGA Lund Club, UGA Department of Entomology and Georgia Museum of Natural History.
Free parking for this event is available at the Turner Soccer Complex, 2330 S. Milledge Ave. Athens, GA 30605.
