2026 Kiwanis Butterfly Festival - September 26th & 27th
Enjoy a walk with hundreds of butterflies, contained in a 600 square foot tent, along with local flowering plants provided by Mike's Garden Centers. Butterfly experts will be on hand to answer questions from all ages. Watermelon is provided to allow children of all ages the opportunity to feed and interact with the butterflies.
Children and adults have learned much about the habitat of butterflies and their influence on our ecosystem through this festival and many return year after year. This will be our 22nd year to hold the butterfly festival. The weekend event culminates with the release of the butterflies at 5 pm Sunday.
