OUR STORY

​

Two brothers. One shared vision.

 

As a gourmet bread pudding and cheesecake business owner, Ivory LeShore III traveled to festivals and saw how good food brought people together. That experience inspired him to create a festival where everyone could feel welcome.

 

Today, Ivory and his brother, William LeShore, are building the Furnace Chicken Festival into a Birmingham tradition rooted in food, family, and community.
