Butter Festival

Reedsburg is proud to have been the "Butter Capital of the World" in the late sixties, seventies and eighties, when our local milk processing plant produced more butter than any other place in the world! To celebrate that fact, our Butter Festival was born, and for over 40 years Butterfest has been one of the great traditions of Reedsburg. Organized by a dedicated group of volunteers, Butterfest is held in June during Dairy Month, and is a traditional community festival consisting of the Miss Butterfest contest, tractor pulls, demo derby, live music, carnival and concessions, a Saturday parade and famous chicken barbeque!
