10th annual Darter Festival offers food, fun and is waste-free

By: Donna Cope

The 10th annual Darter Festival offers good times, food and fun while raising awareness about Jefferson County’s tiny, endangered fish – the rush, vermilion and watercress darters. The celebration will be Alabama’s first waste-free festival.

Avondale Brewing Company in Birmingham will welcome attendees Sunday, May 7, from noon to 5 p.m. Folks can enjoy good eats, revel in live music and take part in kid-friendly activities. Good People Brewing Co. has brewed up its celebratory, darter-themed IPA beer, on draft and in cans, available in stores for about three months. Last year, customers bought 300 cases of the limited-edition ale.
