The Mariposa Butterfly Festival is a 3 day event that takes place in the town of Mariposa.
There are a myriad of activities that take place throughout the weekend that attract 1,000’s to the festival. The highlights are always the butterfly releases over the Mariposa Creek! This year the Katerpillar Kids area is expanding. The area is designated especially for preschool through primary grade ages. The three day event will take place during regular Festival hours, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, April 30th, May 1st and 2nd.
It is a great way for service clubs and individuals to get involved in the festival for a relatively minimal cost. You may bring organizational related material to share and perhaps even recruit new members. Commercial vendors will be screened so please submit a photo of your product with your application.
Spaces are FREE if an activity is provided for the children. Some suggestions are a craft project, a demonstration, story telling, book reading, puppets or games. Festival officials will be glad to help you with ideas but encourage you to be creative and see what you come up with. You are encouraged to make your activity butterfly related.
In addition to spaces, the festival will provide a performance area for entertainment. This could include any kind of entertainment geared toward children. There are a limited number of times in half hour segments available so be sure to sign up early.
