With beautiful spring weather + the lifting of COVID-19 regulations comes one of the best times in Music City — festival season.

We’ve been sharing some can’t-miss events going on in the next few months over on our Instagram, including the Candlelight Concert series + OUTLOUD Music Festival. There are also some delicious fests coming up like Bourbon & Bubbles Fest + Music City Hot Chicken Festival. And you can’t forget about the fall’s most anticipated music festivals like Bonnaroo + Pilgrimage Music Festival.

But with all the great festivals we do have, we started thinking about what type of festivals we don’t have. For example, why don’t we have a day celebrating warm, buttery pastries like Knoxville’s International Biscuit Festival? What about a golden retriever festival highlighting all of the beautiful pups in Middle Tennessee like they have in Scotland? Or an event honoring both local and international culture like CultureFest in Chattanooga?
