ABOUT THE ROOTS & WINGS FESTIVAL
The Roots & Wings Festival is Austin’s annual combined celebration of Arbor Day and Monarch Appreciation Day. We use this time to celebrate trees, butterflies, bees, and all creatures! Nature is soothing and healing in so many ways. We are as much a part of nature as it is a part of our lives. Nature is, and has always been, here for you.
