A partnership between the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District and Metro, Bug Fest is a celebration of invertebrates and the important roles they play in our environment. The event combines interactive discovery stations, crafts, games, and family entertainment with a range of activities that help attendees experience the boneless/spineless creatures that keep the environment healthy. All those tiny critters (such as beetles, butterflies, bees, slugs, spiders, true bugs and ants that help recycle fallen trees, pollinate flowers and get eaten by other animals) are the real heroes of our planet. As always you are welcome to bring a bug to be identified by an expert!
Join us for the twelfth year of Bug Fest! Keep checking the Bug Fest webpage or "like" our Facebook page to keep up-to-date on what's planned for this year's event.
