We're so sad we can't be together in person, but we're excited to bring a little Butterfest joy to your June with some awesome virtual events! 

Kicking off with our first-ever Medallion Hunt, we're also excited to bring a new "Virtual Parade" to Sparta, with a first pace winner walking away with $100 cash! The museum is also hosting the Bike Decorating Contest virtually for kids up to 14 years of age. Thursday through Sunday we'll be hosting a "Button Hunt" in different locations around town. Keep an eye on our Facebook page to find out where you can go search for buttons, as well as win prizes from some fun social media contests!

Butterfest 2020 cancelled; See you in 2021!

A Message from the Sparta Butterfest Board of Directors:

It is with heavy heart, much thought and discussion that the Board of Directors has made the decision to cancel the 36th Annual Sparta Butterfest due to the COVID 19 Pandemic.  The cancellation will include all events scheduled for that weekend.  No new royalty will be named for 2020. 

Sparta Butterfest's main priority is the health and safety of each and every one of our volunteers and festers.  As a committee, we talked about other solutions, but with the announcement of the Badger Bounce Back Plan, we would need to be in Phase 3 by the 2nd weekend in June.  There unfortunately is not enough time for us to reach Phase 3 by Butterfest weekend. 

Please know that this is only a cancellation Sparta Butterfest for this year, due to current social distancing guidelines.  We will be back next year for the 2021 Fest!  In the meantime, keep an eye on our social media pages as we have some fun events planned from June 11-14th, during what would have been Butterfest 2020. 

Thank you again for all of your support of Sparta Butterfest and until next year!
