Welcome to Mayfest 2005

Mayfest is a four-day, multi-event, outdoor community festival. The 33rd annual Mayfest will be held Thursday, April 28 through Sunday, May 1, 2005.

Mayfest began in 1973 as the Trinity River Festival - a celebration of the Trinity River greenbelt. Over the last 32 years, Mayfest has grown into an annual Fort Worth tradition that attracts up to 300,000 people.

The purpose of Mayfest is to raise funds for the community and strengthen the spirit of community-wide voluntarism, while promoting an awareness of the parks, streams and valleys.

Take this opportunity to browse among the cream of the crop perennials, specially selected to stand up to all the challenges of Texas gardening.

Cozy up to your favorites and adopt them for your own yard! Bring your landscape plan and take advantage of our Horticulture Staff's expertise in selecting just the right plants for your garden.

Over 12,000 live tropical butterflies from Central America and Southeast Asia will flutter throughout the Fort Worth Botanic Garden’s conservatory during the entire month of March.

One of the most colorful species is the blue morpho, whose colors range from an iridescent turquoise to royal blue.
