Butterbean Festival Returns as Pinson Butterbean Days

0:00It's March 27, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Birmingham News Today. Local news powered by AI. Great news for fans of the Butterbeam Festival in Pinson, Alabama. After 20 years, the beloved event seemed headed for an end, but it's coming back stronger. The city of Pinson has teamed up with the North Jefferson Chamber of Commerce to launch Pinson Butterbeam days this fall. The original festival was run by the Clay Pinson Chamber, which cited a funding dispute with the cities of Pinson and Clay as the reason for stopping. Organizes there said they wanted to head in a new direction, but Pinson's mayor and the Clay Mayor pushed back, denying any pull of support. Pinson Mayor Hoyt Sanders promised to keep the community tradition alive and locals breathe a sigh of relief. The new setup focuses on boosting local businesses, economic growth, and family fun in downtown Pinson. Expect arts and crafts, food trucks, live music, and kid-friendly activities over two full days on October 2nd and 3rd.
