The Tennessee State Fair is back!
From August 15 to 24, listen to live music, take part in baking, tablescaping, and other fun competitions, see livestock shows and an antique car show, have fun on the midway rides, and more! We've rounded up five things you should know about the Tennessee State Fair before you go:
1. Take Part in the Tablescaping Contest
This event showcases the artistry and creativity of participants who transform simple tables into stunning works of art. Participants will design a formal tablescape fit for four people with the theme of their choice. First, second, and third place winners will each receive a cash prize and gift cards.
It's not a state fair without some live music! Listen to tunes from all kinds of genres all week long. The fair has eight stages, each with their own schedule and lineup. Bluegrass? Check. Traditional country? You got it.
3. Grab a Seat on the Midway Rides
Looking for a thrill? Climb aboard the Zipper if you dare, scoot your way down the Super Fun Slide, or go the traditional route with a go around on the ferris wheel. Purchase a $25 to $35 ride armband for unlimited amounts of fun.
From cattle shows and dairy judging to goat shows and barrel racing, the Tennessee State Fair is full of furry friends and fun competitions alike! Register to compete in a show or watch as a spectator.
5. Get Moving with Motorized Events
Tractor pulls, a four wheeler rodeo, and a Monster Truck show? We're there! There’s a motorized event to get everyone’s engine running. There’s even a battery powered ride-on toy race for kids.
