ENC Spring Faire & Butterfly House Opening
05.13.16
Join the fun at the Environmental Nature Center’s 11th Annual Spring Faire and Butterfly House opening on Sunday, May 15 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.—it’s OC’s only butterfly house! You can savor the OC with delicious food from local restaurants like Damasq Cafe, Rita’s Ice Custard Happiness, Kean Coffee, Sensitive Sweets, Pie-Not, Paige’s Cake Pops, Jan’s Health Bar, and the Alley.
There will be a youth art exhibit, native plants for sale that attract butterflies and birds to your own yard. Kids can try face painting or henna tattoos, play nature games, and see a live bird of prey presentation with owls and hawks from the OC Bird of Prey Center. And, you can get a massage from the folks at Greet the Day. You can purchase a re-usable ENC canvas bag for $5 – your “ticket” to make crafts.
1601 E. 16th St. in Newport Beach.
