Monarchs & Mariachi

Come Celebrate the Beloved Monarch

The Monarch butterfly is a beloved symbol of summertime, and we are excited to celebrate their upcoming migration to Mexico at our Monarchs & Mariachi event.

Join us for an afternoon of fun activities, including butterfly crafts, a screening of Flight of the Butterflies 3D in our GIANT Screen Theater, live music from Mariachi Los Aguilares band throughout the museum and more. Don’t miss out on this once a year opportunity to celebrate Monarchs and Mexican culture while enjoying an afternoon of family-friendly fun at the Putnam. See you there!
