Tennessee State Fair – The fun place to be in September!
The 105th annual Tennessee State Fair is just around the corner, so everybody is busy gearing up for it. The fair begins September 9th and end on the 18th. All Tennesseans avidly wait for this each year, as it promises to have something fun and interesting for everyone.
History
The first Tennessee State Fair was held in 1906 and the tradition has continued since then. It hasn’t always been an easy road for the fair, as it had to survive the Great Depressions, unexpected fires and other minor storms. However, every year the fair survived! So it makes sense that the theme of this year’s fair is “tradition lives on”. This year the fair will place special importance on the culture and heritage that Tennesseans cherish and highlight future growth. Also, like every year the fairgrounds will be filled with exciting rides, competitions and events you can’t afford to miss out on!
What to expect in Tennessee State Fair?
The Tennessee State Fair is not just for the purpose of entertainment only. It also promotes businesses and agriculture so that every entity benefits from the fair in a different manner. The Motor Sports Weekend-Demolition Derby will be the first event to take place on the 9th followed by “celebrity cow milking” on the same day. With such events you know that opening night will be a bang! The Motors Sports Weekend will end with the State Fair Spectacular Auto race and the Tennessee Valley Quarter Midget Association Races.
You can also dance to the free music concert series presented by the Farm Bureau Insurance. This year some of the performers include:
- The Bekah Hailey Band
- Delicious Blues Stew
- Brandi Thornton

- Rachel Mann
