The Tennessee State Fair is back!
Now through August 26, listen to live music, take part in baking, home brewing, 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 Husband Calling Contest
Register in-person at the time of the event and give the contest a go! Wear your best husband calling outfit and over the course of one minute, see if you have what it takes to have the best and most unique husband calling yodel.
It's not a state fair without some live music! Listen to tunes from all kinds of genres all week long. The fair has seven stages, each with their own schedule and lineup. Bluegrass? Check. Traditional country? Check.
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 lawn mower demolition derby, and a Monster Truck show, oh my! There’s a motorized event to get everyone’s engine running. There’s even a battery powered ride-on toy race for kids.
