 ing migration!\n\nNot only will visitors to the festival be able to witness
  the tagging of these delicate butterflies at the St. Marks Lighthouse, but
  they can enjoy exhibits and demonstrations, learn about landscaping for bu
 tterflies and other pollinators, plus enjoy family-friendly interactive gam
 es, crafts, music, and food near the visitor center. The Nature Store will 
 also be open from 10 am -5pm, so you can get all your monarch and nature gi
 fts there.\n\nThe regular entrance fee of $5/car will be charged, so have y
 our money ready when you approach the tollbooth to save time. We ask that y
 ou please leave your pets at home.\n\nTo protect our festival participants,

 e and visitors will be asked to park at the boat ramp parking lot and walk 
 to the lighthouse. Enjoy the short walk and watch the butterflies and birds
