When the leaves start to change into a wide array of beautiful colors you know that summer has passed and fall is here. It is such a lovely time of the year, with the smell of pumpkin spice filling every cafe and the fiery array of colors in our forests. It really is a time to celebrate, and there is one tiny town that transforms into an autumn lover’s celebration. This is one fall festival in Tennessee that you will not want to miss.
Hatchie Fall Fest is one of the best fall festivals in Tennessee and, is an annual event that has been around since 2003, when it debuted as the Brownsville Fall Fest.
The next year, it was renamed to pay homage to the local scenic natural area, The Hatchie River, and Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge. True to Tennessee's nickname, this event has been made possible with many volunteers throughout the area.
Transforming the town square area of Brownsville, this festival is always filled with friendly small-town people and that undeniable Southern charm we all love. Shop local crafts and goods with more than a hundred vendors available during the festival.
Plenty of fall fun abounds everywhere during the Hatchie Fall Fest.
Join in on a frozen t-shirt contest or challenge others in a corn hole tournament. Brownsville certainly has a lot to offer for kids and adults alike. This fall if you are looking for a great way to get outside and enjoy a good family-friendly festival in Tennessee, then this is a good one to visit.
This is a family-friendly event with tons of fun things for kids to do.
Everything from crafts to a petting zoo will be available. The festival has even had mini train rides for kids in previous years, so you never know what kind of fun the festival organizers will conjure up next!
Live music is performed during the festival, giving it an even more festive feel.
Many local and regional artists come together from various genres to perform and entertain throughout the whole event. They're playing the soundtrack to a day filled with family fun! This is a very musical state after all and I love how we have so many talented individuals who can put on an amazing show.
One of the best parts of any festival is the food.
The festival always attracts vendors of all kinds. Have your fill of delicious hotdogs, funnel cakes, corndogs, and much, much more. Make sure to come hungry and get ready to enjoy a fun-filled day celebrating this wonderful season. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
