What’s the buzz at Bernheim Forest this weekend? It’s BugFest 2025.
“BugFest is an awesome festival that we have going on at Bernheim this Saturday, September 20,” said Bernheim Forest Marketing and Communications Director Lynette Cox. “It’s a great time to bring the kids out and celebrate insects and the vital ecological services that they provide.”
The family-friendly event will feature educational activities and fun experiences for kids to learn from and enjoy.
“We’re going to have an insect zoo, so we’ll have insects on display in little containers that the kids and parents and other people who join can come and take a look at these bugs and learn a little bit about them,” Cox said. “We’ll have our naturalist there talking about the bugs. We’ll also have other discovery stations at Bernheim as well.”
BugFest will also feature bug-themed crafts, live music, and a bug parade.
“You can come dressed up at BugFest as your own favorite bug,” Cox said. “You’ve got those butterfly wings? Go ahead and bring them, or you can borrow an outfit from our costume tent, and we’re going to set the bug parade up at 1:30.”
BugFest runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday. The event is free although a suggested donation will be accepted at the gates. Visit Bernheim Forest’s website or Facebook page for more information.
