BugFest 2008
Saturday, September 20, 9 am–9 pm
The nation’s biggest and most popular “buggy” event will continue the tradition of amazing exhibits, fun activities and compound-eye-popping shows. Make sure to visit the expanded Garden and Kids Zones on the State Capitol Grounds, and take in the entertainment on the Jones Street State, featuring the astounding Alberti Flea Circus and an array of musical acts. Enjoy delicious bug-filled delicacies at the Café Insecta, cheer on your favorite entry at the Roachingham 500 roach races, view incredible and bizarre live animals, and see the un-bee-lievable beard of bees!
