Join us for the 23rd annual Spring Planting and Music Festival as we celebrate the springtime traditions of the Cumberland Plateau. During the festival, crafter's demonstrate forgotten arts, such as blacksmithing, basket making, hand spinning, weaving, woodcarving, chair caning, soap making, garden herb lore and use, and paling fence making.
In addition, there will be children’s activities, interpretative talks, fun runs, bird watching and wildflower guided walks, vendors demonstrating and selling their wares, and food sales.
There are displays of women's life, antique farm tools, farm animals and old-time toys which will delight young and old alike.
Toe-tapping tunes of mountain music are performed throughout the area by various local groups such as the Knoxville Area Dulcimer Club.
Of special interest is the plowing and planting with mules and horses which takes place at the Lora Blevins field. Other demonstrations will take place at the Oscar Blevins Farm Site as well.
