The Mariposa Butterfly Festival is back and better than ever! Join us for an unforgettable weekend of live music, local art, a classic car and truck show, Jurassic Mariposa with giant dinosaurs and tarantulas, and Habitat Row. Bring the family for an awesome parade on Main Street and get up close with thousands of butterflies.
