Cycropia celebrates over 25 years of aerial dance – blending modern dance, athleticism and the magic of defying gravity through the use of trapeze, aerial fabric and custom steel apparatus. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Cycropia was formed in 1990 and is one of the oldest continuing aerial dance troupes within the United States.  They will be performing among the beautiful trees in our Oak Savanna as well as INSIDE the Cave with lighted costumes!

Sing & Dance to the Sounds of “Birds, Birds, Birds”

Birds, Birds, Birds are a kind of a folk-grass trio featuring guitar, ukulele and melodica. They play almost all original songs throwing in a couple of covers for good measure. Every song has at least one bird reference in it (hence the name). They’re kind of a fun-timey, easy to kick back to group – good for the dancin’ or just for the listenin’.

Seek & Celebrate Pretty Winged Things

Birds, butterflies, bees and bugs! The beautiful grounds at Cave of the Mounds provide habitat for all of these pretty winged things! Head underground and learn about winged things that make caves their home, efforts to protect them and why Cave of the Mounds does not have a hibernating bat population.

Taste & Savor Wisconsin Wines and More

Enjoy the best of Wisconsin wine and cheese inside the Cave and in the Butterfly Gardens.  Mt. Horeb’s Bistro 101 will also be providing some tasty light appetizers.

Appreciate & Support Local Art

Two local artists, John Pahlas and Joshua Ludke, will be showing work that features “winged things”.
