The 57th Annual American Dairy Association North East Butter Sculpture has officially debuted at the New York State Fair, and this year’s display is a true celebration of dairy, life, and a little bit of imagination.

Crafted from 800 pounds of butter, this year’s butter sculpture celebrates the joy and nourishment dairy provides at every stage of life, along with a classic inspiration with ties to the state.

Out rolled the 2025 New York State Fair butter sculpture, 800 pounds of creamy creativity carved into “Dairy For Good: Nourish. Grow. Thrive.” This unsalted work of art is the equivalent to 3,200 sticks of butter, enough to cover 76,800 pancakes.
