Description

Save the date! In observance of American Sign Language Day, Signs of Spring will be back in Cades Cove on Saturday, April 13, 2024. The park is partnering with Knoxville Center of the Deaf, the University of Tennessee, Maryville City Schools, Maryville College, and the Partnership for Families, Children, and Adults to plan the event, which will happen the weekend before National ASL Day.

The event will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, 2024. Park resource educators and local ASL interpreters will work together to present spoken and signed programs throughout Cades Cove. Visitors can tour the Cove at their own pace and drop by stations anytime during the event.
