Facebook/Moraine State Park Regatta The regatta itself will be held on August 3 and 4, 2019.
Guests can purchase a Monarch butterfly, which they can then release in honor of a loved one who is still here or who has passed away. You can also just release a butterfly for the experience.

A butterfly costs $10, and you can add a loved one’s name, which will be read out before the release, to it. (If you want to release a butterfly, you should pre-purchase one as there are a limited number of butterflies.)

On the evening of the butterfly release, you can release your butterfly in private or with the mass release, slated for 6 p.m.
