Pacific Grove Culture
Butterfly Parade and Bazaar
​
Every October, the City of Pacific Grove welcomes back the Monarch Butterflies.  
The elementary school students of Pacific Grove participate in the Butterfly Parade - with each grade dressing in different costumes.  The honor of dressing as a Monarch Butterfly goes to our kindergartners.
The Parade begins at Robert Down Elementary on Pine Street, winds through downtown Pacific Grove on Lighthouse Avenue and returns to Robert Down.
The PTA's for both Forest Grove and Robert Down host a Butterfly Bazaar - an afternoon of games, food and laughter for all to enjoy.  A highlight of the Butterfly Bazaar are all the homemade goodies for the Bake Sale and the Cake Walk.
