Bugtoberfest Annual Insect Eating Event!
Eating Insects doesn't sound appetizing?! Get used to it! It won't be long before insects will be a part of the menu as we continue to look for new ways to feed our ever growing population on decreasing agricultural land.
Texas A&M AgriLife is partnering with the San Antonio Botanical Gardens to again provide a nutritious, delicious, and entertaining insect tasting menu! Take the edge off with a beer pairing from Blue Star Brewing Co!
We will have tons of youth activities and the entire family is invited to come out and join us! You do not have to register for the tastings to participate in the youth activities. Come play with insects, paint with soldier fly larvae, and enjoy the Giant Bugs art display around the Garden!
