What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This festival's claim to being Tennessee's largest and longest-running festival is backed by real scale: an 88th edition, more than 20 individual events, and attendance estimated between 75,000 and over 100,000 visits across roughly a week of programming spread over 9 downtown blocks

02

The mystery stays covered

Two separate parades and free street concerts, including a dedicated gospel concert, give the event a broad entertainment range within a single week, while beauty pageants and children's events add layers typical of a decades-old small-town festival that has grown without losing its community roots

03

The city starts moving

With more than 20 food trucks and vendors and a full carnival, the festival balances its strawberry-harvest theme with a large-scale entertainment operation, closing each edition with fireworks over Main Street
