Nolensville’s 18th Buttercup Festival

Join us April 8 from 10-5 in the “Historic District” of Nolensville, Tenn., for our 18th Annual Buttercup Festival. The Buttercup has always been a great way to kick off the spring season, and a wonderful destination for family fun. Apart from the unique variety of Historic District Shoppes that will offer sales, the festival will have over 100 artisan vendors lined up from Old Clovercroft Road to The Nolensville Feed Mill. Food vendors will offer festival/fair food ranging from BBQ, burgers, and hot dogs to shrimp and homemade ice cream. Nana’s Diner will also be open, and serving food throughout the entire day.

Returning to the Buttercup are the members of the 46th Tennessee Civil War Re-enactors who will set up camp next to the First United Methodist Church. A variety of musical entertainment will take place behind  A Homeplace Bed & Breakfast. Look for the map and stage schedule on the Historic Nolensville Buttercup Festival Facebook page. The Little Miss Buttercup Pageant, as well as the announcement of the Evelyn Bennett Buttercup Scholarship awardee, will take place at 1 p.m. behind the B&B. The little ones will love the kid’s area with pony rides and a petting zoo and Sam the Balloon Man will also be in attendance.

Parking will be available with shuttle service from The Nolensville Ball Park, Nolensville Elementary, The Town Hall, Rec Center, and Sunset Church, with drop off and pick up at First United Methodist Church.
