Homecoming Q&A
October 12-14, 2012
Plan to be here for the 33nd
Annual Tennessee Fall Homecoming! Our festival showcases some 400 musicians playing authentic Southern Appalachian bluegrass, Gospel, folk and old-time country music continuously on five stages. Wherever you are on the grounds, there will be music nearby. Old-time crafters entertain and offer their treasures for sale. Demonstrator show and explain how people lived and worked during pioneer times. As always, there will be plenty of tasty Southern vittles to enjoy. Southern hospitality will be in abundance as well!
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 65-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, accompanied by 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.
More than 175 artisans—some whose work is rarely
seen elsewhere—demonstrate old-time
mountain activities including quilting, basket
weaving, rail-splitting, spinning and
weaving, whittling, chair-caning, lye
soap making, and construction of old-time musical instruments.
Thousands of handcrafted items are available
for purchase during the three-day event.

This event is funded in part by a grant from South Arts
in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts
and the Tennessee Arts Commision.
