Festival of Butterflies: August 2-4 & 9-11, 2013

And that's just the beginning! Festival days are packed with hands-on fun. Highlights include a native butterfly breezeway by Master Gardeners, Monarch Watch and the Idalia Society, kids' crafts, a costume parade, a butterfly catch-and-release area and much more. More details to come.
Harvest Celebration & Antique Tractor and Equipment Show, Oct. 4-6, 2013
The first weekend of October brings a return to Powell Gardens' agricultural roots with a festival that celebrates the best of the harvest season. The festival includes an exhibit of antique tractors, engines and other equipment, complete with a parade of power and tractor-driving skills games. In 2013, Powell Gardens is pleased to serve as the state show site for the International Harvestors Collectors' Club Chapter One.
Along with the tractors and related exhibits, visitors will find plenty of other fall fun, including pumpkin painting, a scarecrow exhibit, a pedal tractor pull and outdoor family games.
