Alabama Butterbean Festival

One of the largest festivals in the Southeast, the Alabama Butterbean Festival rounds up country cooks, families, and die-hard fans of butterbeans for a fun-filled weekend including 12-hours of live music, carnival rides, food, petting zoos, pony rides, and more. The free festival also features the Guinness world record holding butterbean pot. The pot earned the record in 2010 for the largest pot of baked beans at over 1,010 gallons. The festival’s official mascot, Bucky Butterbean, will also be at the festival posing for pictures and greeting attendees. The small-town charm of Pinson’s Main Street will be packed with more than 150 arts and crafts vendors and various traditional and non-traditional fair food vendors.
