Napa StoryWalk®
Join us on this outdoor reading adventure!
Join us for the third annual Napa StoryWalk® in four of our most popular Napa County parks this summer! More details will be posted soon about the kickoff event at Skyline Park!
What is the Napa StoryWalk®?
StoryWalk® is an innovative and delightful way for families to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time. We’ve created a living art installation and placed pages from the book Call Me Tree, authored by Maya Christina Gonzalez along a walking path in your favorite parks to help kids get outside to enjoy nature and reading together. Take a walk and enjoy the park, the outdoors, and this wonderful book about the annual migration of monarch butterflies.
How to Join in on the Fun:
The Napa StoryWalk® will be on display in four of our favorite parks this summer for everyone to enjoy!
~ Skyline Wilderness Park, Napa – June 22nd-July 7th
~ Moore Creek Park, St Helena – July 13th-July 28th
~ Wetlands Edge Park, American Canyon – August 3rd – August 17th
~ Bothe-Napa Valley State Park, Calistoga – August 24 – September 7th
Special Kickoff Event on June 22, 2024!
Join us at Skyline Wilderness Park on Saturday, June 22nd as we welcome renowned artist, activist and cultural organizer Favianna Rodriguez to the park to bring her Migration is Beautiful workshop back to Napa. Favianna will lead with a short talk about the power of art to transform the imagination and honor local ecosystems. Young participants will be able to create their own set of butterfly wings to celebrate the monarch butterfly and the importance of migration.
We’ll also have kids activities from First 5 Napa County and the Napa Open Space District, and you’ll have the chance to experience the Outdoor Connection, a mobile science laboratory for kids with the American Canyon Community and Parks Foundation.
This children’s art workshop was a hit last year and will fill up quickly! Stay tuned for ticket details and RSVP information for this special workshop event.
