At the inaugural Butter Tart Festival in June 2013, the festival sold out of the 10,000 butter tarts available for sale by 11 a.m. The number of butter tarts available for sale increases each year and we are now up to 200,000 butter tarts available for sale. Attendance has also increased to now approximately 60,000 visitors each year.
