Butter World
Butter World was born of an idea to bring Butter back to Butter Fest. In our inaugural year, we provided Butter Festers with a place to unwind with kids’ activities & games, the opportunity to learn how to make your own butter, the chance to purchase a bouquet of butter flowers for that special someone in your life, and activities such as carving buttermilk soap, and butter tasting. Every year our goal is to grow Butter World with grand ideas of lumberjack shows, contests, and all things butter!

Concerts in the park is a summer staple in the Sparta community. Beginning the Wednesday following Memorial Day through the Wednesday before Labor Day, we invite you to join us on Wednesday's for an evening of free music in the park. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and come ready to unwind with the areas top bands. Concessions are available and support a local non-profit group each week.
