The Windsor Eco Monarch Festival will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2025 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM! This is an eco-friendly fair; we focus on green initiatives like gardening, recycling, environmentalism, and protection of the endangered monarch butterfly.
Join in the fun at this unique, artsy, green event!
The festival includes over 30 vendors with amazing eco-friendly artisan goods for sale including home decor, jewelry, healthy skin care products, art made from reused materials, nature photography, and more.
Some activities for the whole family may include making a fluttering butterfly, rock painting, kids costume pollinator parade, make a butterfly brooch, face painting, make a bird scarer for your garden, and planting marigolds to take home. An acclaimed chalk artist will be there to create a beautiful chalk mural with lots of chalk for you to create with too! There will be an Electric Vehicle display with cars and owners for you to talk to.
The Windsor Eco Monarch Festival is hosted by First Town Downtown. It serves to preserve the health of the Monarch Butterfly through "raise and release" programs, planting butterfly habitats and educating the public of the vital importance the monarch plays in our environment.

Butterflies are a sign of a healthy environment and ecosystem. With your support you can help ensure Windsor's continued health and beauty.
In addition to environmental benefits, butterfly habitats are a common point of interest for many tourists. Your investment in the Windsor Eco Monarch Festival will also serve as efforts to bring in more foot-traffic on the River Trail and in Windsor Center. Our butterfly habitats are a great addition to Windsor for residents and visitors alike.
