Overview
Experience the beauty and wonder of the Western Pennsylvania Monarch during our annual Butterfly Release at the Moraine State Park Regatta. Watch as the sky fills with the graceful flight of monarch butterflies—an unforgettable sight for all ages. The mass butterfly release is free to attend, and no tickets are required. This mass release at 5:00 PM serves as the celebratory closing of the Moraine State Park Regatta.
If you would like to release a butterfly in honor or memory of a loved one, you may pre-purchase an individual butterfly. These butterflies can be picked up at the Information Tent between 3:00–4:00 PM and released at your own pace in a designated area near the shoreline.
