Description:

I won’t be there in person, but I didn’t want you to miss this: Monarch Palooza, hosted by the Chicago Park District, is the city’s annual celebration of the monarch butterfly. Expect live music (Son Monarcas), craft stations, guided nature walks, and a mini how-to on creating monarch habitat at home. It’s family-friendly, free, and a great excuse to get outside before summer’s over.

🚶‍♀️ Tip: Parking is limited—consider biking, carpooling, or taking transit.

Even though I won’t be attending, you can connect with other Meeples in the event chat to coordinate meetups, share updates, or just say hello. And please feel free to upload any photos you take directly to this event page so everyone can enjoy the moments, whether they’re there or not.

📷 Rain or shine, keep your eyes open—you might just spot the season’s most graceful traveler.
