Springtime – a time for renewal. A time for new beginnings. A time for nature to shine in all its glory. A time for new leaves and new blossoms.

It’s Bell Buckle’s time to shine with the town’s annual Daffodil Day, along with a Best of The Butts BBQ Cook Off.

Spring is celebrated in Bell Buckle with all the accolades going to the thousands of daffodils planted in and around the town in Tennessee.

to celebrate, Bell Buckle pulls out the welcome mat painted on its downtown Quilt Square with a huge variety of daffodils to choose from. There’s also music on the square and a free tree seedling give away. This year’s seedlings are Chinkapin Oak, Dogwood, and Common Persimmon.  

Activities include the Bell Buckle Daffodil Flower Show with categories for singles, arrangements, and even a youth category. The show will be held at Bell Buckle Bethany Hall. Go to bellbucklechamber.com for more information on entering including times, rules, and instructions on the different daffodil classes.

Barbecue grill masters will convene at the Bell Buckle Event Lot behind the downtown stores (just follow your nose!) to crank up those smokers and get those butts in gear to decide who has the best Butt in Bell Buckle. The People’s Choice contest gives everyone a chance to sample each entry and vote on your favorite. Cost is $10. Winners for the Best Butt, Captain Rodney Anything Butt Category, and People’s Choice will be announced on the Bell Buckle Event Lot stage at 4pm.  

An Arbor Day ceremony will begin downtown at 2 p.m. Bell Buckle will be recognized as a Tree City USA for the 23rd year. The Bell Buckle Citizen of the Year will be announced, as well as the town’s Notable Tree.
