We hope that all remain safe as we send our thoughts and prayers to all our friends and neighbors who have been impacted by Hurricane Milton.

We have made the difficult decision to POSTPONE the Monarch Butterfly Festival originally scheduled for Saturday, October 26th.

We will announce our new date as soon as we can!

Thanks for your understanding!

The Dade City Garden Club and The City of Dade City are proud to present the 2024 Monarch Butterfly Festival in our newly renovated Touchton Park, with festivities flowing out into the gardens of the Dade City Garden Club! We will have an extraordinary Plant Sale featuring Native Plants often so hard to find, a Kids’ Zone, entertainment, educational exhibits and speakers and an eclectic market that will satisfy any shopper.

We are no longer accepting applications but have a wait list. To be added to the waitlist, please email a few photos of your products and display to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We will notify you if a spot becomes available.

The Jolley Trolley will be back, special thanks to the Community Foundation Tampa Bay! The ongoing theme highlighted throughout the day is everyone can make a difference! Municipalities, community groups and even individuals can help save the Monarchs by taking a few simples steps. Through our collective efforts, our community can help all pollinators, improve our environment, and make Dade City a better place to live, play and work.

Save the Date and watch as we add the schedule for the day.
