CANCELLED • Visit us at the Mountain Monarch Festival!

This event has been cancelled due to impending weather.

Come visit the Bookmobile at the Mountain Monarch Festival!  Monarch Fest takes place at Gorges State Park in Sapphire, North Carolina.  The festival will celebrate the monarch butterfly during its migration and bring attention to the species’ declining numbers. Gorges State Park lies along the monarch’s migratory route. The butterflies can be seen in late September each year flying over the park’s visitor center on their way south to the high-elevation fir forests of Mexico’s Neovolcanic Mountains, where they overwinter until early spring.

Friends, neighbors, and families are invited to join in the celebration of the Monarch butterfly and learn more about its impressive life & migration. This event is FREE and open to the public.
