The Butner Summer Festival (originally called "Chicken Pickin'") is an annual community celebration held the first weekend in June. This year, the festival is proudly hosted by the Town of Butner in partnership with Granville Health System.  It kicks off with a lively Friday night street-style dance hosted by the Butner Community Association at the Soldiers Memorial Sports Arena, followed on Saturday at Gazebo Park by a full day of live entertainment, a BBQ chicken cook-off, classic car and tractor displays, food, craft and retail vendors, and family-friendly activities.
