Nolensville Town government is grateful for the many years that dedicated organizers and small business owners have provided a wonderful community event with the Nolensville Buttercup Festival. It has been a springtime tradition.
In years past, the Town of Nolensville has donated police and fire services and reduced public works fees to support the festival. Outside of donating police, fire, and public works services, the Town of Nolensville does not organize or operate the festival as part of our normal town events like the Star-Spangled Celebration or the Christmas or Veteran’s Day Parade.
We are grateful for all of the contributors involved with the festival over the years and will continue to collaborate with all community members to ensure the success of future events that benefit both our residents and local businesses. As we move forward, we encourage everyone to remain engaged in making our town a great place to live, work, and celebrate.
Town leaders have responded to past inquiries regarding the legal limits of government prohibiting other activities on private property the day of the festival. Government also cannot mandate participation of all business owners in a community festival. While we do everything we can to support the festival, the government is also responsible for protecting and honoring individual property rights of businesses, churches and local residents.
The original Buttercup Festival purpose was to support and grow the Historic District Businesses. The Town of Nolensville is committed to honoring the rich traditions of the past festival organizers and is committed to working with the businesses in the historic district to continue a festival in April.
