The community of Union County, Tennessee celebrates true Appalachian culture in The Cradle of Country Music. There is no admission fee.
Join us in celebrating the music, arts and Appalachian culture in the heart of beautiful Union County, Tennessee.
Festivities go on in three venues:
Wilson Park, where the green ridges create a soothing backdrop for traditional music, fine crafts and country life demonstrations;
Union County Museum with a quilt show and authors' tables; and at
Union County Arts with a fine arts show and sale and where Union County's finest artists, craftspeople and musicians gather for a big hoedown. Come to The Cradle of Country Music: where we're proud to be the home of Roy Acuff, Chet Atkins, Carl Smith and countless other famous musicians.
We welcome your participation as a demonstrator, a vendor, or just come and jam under a shade tree with us. Wear an old-time costume; bring the kids for fun in our kids area with childrens crafts, shows and fun; taste the goodness of real country cooking; join in the Heritage Olympics with the hay bale toss, skillet toss and other games. Enjoy the rich history of Union County and the lovely handmade quilts on display at the museum. Y'all come!!
