The Sree Maha Mariamman Devasthanam Temple, at Bagan Luar, is the oldest Hindu temple in Butterworth.
Founded in 1853, the temple is dedicated to the Hindu deity, Mariamman, a goddess of rain.
Urban legend has it that the temple was built when a statue of Mariamman was found by the seaside.

The Tow Boo Kong Temple is a Taoist temple which is dedicated to the Taoist principal deity of Doumu and the Nine Emperor Gods.
Built in stages between the 1970s and 2009, the temple at Jalan Raja Uda now serves as a focal point of the Nine Emperor Gods Festival, which occurs annually on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in the Chinese calendar.

As part of efforts to revive the fortunes of Butterworth, a number of alleys within the town centre have been decorated with wall murals, similar in style to the street art in George Town.
In addition, the Butterworth Fringe Festival, inaugurated in 2015 as a spin-off to the George Town Festival, is an annual arts festival held within the town centre every August.
