Over the past 10 years, Catherine’s Butterfly Party has welcomed more than 200 animal educators and helped 1,500 animals find their forever homes. 🦋🐾

This year, 27 animal rescues will join us with adoptable cats, dogs, birds, turtles, guinea pigs, and more looking for loving families.

Not ready to adopt? You can still meet our incredible animal ambassadors - from opossums and reptiles to birds of prey and amphibians, these hands-on experiences inspire compassion and curiosity for all ages.

We hope to see you there on June 6th 12-4pm at Fairfield Hills Campus in Newtown, CT!

We have some exciting news to share!

At this year’s 10th Annual Catherine’s Butterfly Party, we are thrilled to introduce a brand-new interactive experience...the Discovery Den.

The Discovery Den is a hands-on space where children can step into the world of animals like never before. Through immersive headpieces and special goggles, they’ll experience how animals see, hear, and perceive the world around them - bringing nature to life in a fun, engaging, and unforgettable way.

We’re especially excited to debut this new activity as it coincides with the expansion of our education department. It marks an important milestone for us, and we can’t wait for families to experience everything we’ve been working on.

Join us as we celebrate learning, imagination, and the wonder of nature at this year’s Butterfly Party on June 6th 12-4pm at Fairfield Hills Campus in Newtown, CT!
