NEWPORT - The local tradition continues!

This year, the tradition continues and promises to be the biggest and best ever! Come help us celebrate our 25th year! A special veteran’s ceremony, coordinated by Newport AMVETS Post 75, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on the Cocke County Courthouse lawn, is designed to honor our servicemen and women.

Two downtown stages will present a variety of music. From bluegrass to jazz, you’re sure to hear something you like. And this year, step back in time on the Main Street side of the Cocke County Courthouse with Old Timey activities. A Spelling Bee, Recitation and Cake Walk are scheduled along with special activities like old timey clothes washing, corn shelling, shingle making and tomahawk throwing. An all-day Jam Session with David McClary will keep your toes tappin’! Join in the sights and sounds of yesteryear. Authentic country cookin’ and festival fare will be served in the food court. Make sure to come hungry – corn dogs and funnel cakes are calling your name! Regional and local arts and crafts communities will be represented with a sampling of their wares. If you are looking for that special gift – you have come to the right place! Admire the artists’ work and pick up that one-of-a-kind hand crafted item.
