Bring a chair and join the thousands of folks who make their annual pilgrimage to the Museum of Appalachia's Tennessee Fall Homecoming, one of the nation's largest and most authentic old-time mountain, craft, and music festivals. 

Wander the Museum's 60-acre village and farm complex, participate in the daily hymn sing in the log church, or just treat yourself to some of the Southeast's finest music, ranging from gospel to bluegrass, performed from the Museum's four stages, along with buck dancing and clogging.

Each day of the event, dozens of local cooks serve country food, some of it prepared on woodburning stoves and in iron kettles.  And over 175 artisans—some whose work is rarely seen elsewhere—demonstrate old-time mountain activities, including quilting, basket weaving, splitting cedar rails, spinning and weaving, whittling, caning chairs, making lye soap, and constructing old-time instruments. Thousands of handcrafted items are available for purchase during the four-day event.

Students are invited to come to the Wednesday preceding Homecoming, our new Appalachian Heritage Day for Students.  We introduced an exciting new format for 2007, with more activities and music geared to children.

Previously voted one of the Top 100 Events in North America, Tennessee Fall Once again selected as one of the Top 20 October Events by the Southeast Tourism Society.  Festivities are held the second full weekend in October, Thursday through Sunday, from 9 a.m. until dark each day, regardless of weather. Ample free parking is available, and free shuttle service is provided on Saturday and Sunday from nearby Anderson County High School.  Event admission rates apply.  Tickets are available at the gate, but advance tickets are available at reduced rates--see the link above for ticket order form.
