Looking to escape into another world for a few hours? Two weekends remain for Harriman\u2019s Tennessee Medieval Faire. On June 8-9, you and your entire family can be transported to a time of jesters, jousting matches and just about any artisan vendor you could want.<\/p>\n
Downtown Rockwood\u2019s Polk Salad Festival brings fun and local flavor to town on June 15! Good food, great music & historical vendors make this a can\u2019t-miss event every year! The ladies of the Women\u2019s Auxiliary of the American Legion sure know how to cook!<\/p>\n
Looking for a little more music? You\u2019ll find great bands and solo artists playing all summer long. Every single Tuesday night, you\u2019ll hear live bluegrass at Bradbury Community Club on Buttermilk Road. Want to be a part of the action? Bring or borrow an instrument and join right in!<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re more of a casual observer, give the game of Singo a try on Thursday nights at Old Capital Public House! It\u2019s played just like Bingo, but with a musical twist. Order dinner, grab a card and sing along.<\/p>\n
If Gospel is more your style, you can find it at Whitestone Inn\u2019s Summer Concert Series. With performances by Jeff and Sheri Easter, Guy Penrod, The Martins, The Isaacs and many more. Tickets are on sale now.<\/p>\n
Maybe you\u2019d rather listen to music on the banks of Watts Bar. Well, you can do that too! Our marina restaurants book bands nearly every weekend, and it\u2019s sure to be a rocking good time.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Watts Bar, there are plenty of opportunities to take advantage of summer days on the water. You can rent a paddleboard in Kingston, fish on the banks of more than 700 miles of shoreline, kayak across a quiet cove or meet your friends on the sand bar for a day of sunshine and good times!<\/p>\n
On June 22, those who dare can float in the waters of Watts Bar after dark at Kingston\u2019s Jaws on the Water event! If you\u2019re brave enough, you can watch this classic American horror film from the comfort of your own innertube.<\/p>\n
Begin July at Kingston\u2019s Smokin\u2019 the Water July 4th<\/sup> Festival! Great live music, an amazing kid\u2019s area, tons of vendors, and the best fireworks display on the water in East Tennessee make this an annual favorite throughout the region. Best of all? It\u2019s free! Save your money to spend on food trucks. You won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/p>\n Round out July with an All-American experience at the City of Harriman\u2019s Annual Cobbler Festival on Saturday, July 27.
