Ever seen 500 butterflies released into the air? This Saturday, Miracle Players Foundation is hosting its third annual Peace, Hope & Butterflies event at Flag Pole Hill. The event will feature music from up-and-coming Dallas bands and loads of activities to raise funding for research at Children’s Medical Center. They’re going to have a petting zoo, an obstacle course, a pirate ship, arts and crafts, a giant slide, and the event will culminate in the release of 500 butterflies by Dallas area childhood cancer warriors. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children. Check out the website for more.
