You won't believe the fun you can have at the many funfests and festivals that are held in Cookeville.

We'll make a celebration out of just about anything. We have so many local musicians and dancers that we hold an annual fiddlin', cloggin' and Dobro® championship just to prove who's best. Okay, the truth is the State Resonator Championship is held in Cookeville every year in May, so we have created a full musical celebration around the event. And the national fiddler's championship is held annually just a few miles away in nearby Smithville.

Railroad Rendezvous and Dobros® at the Depot, Fall FunFest, Appalachian Craft Center Celebration of Crafts, Nature Fest, Renaissance Festival and Faire, Great Bowls of Fire Chili Cook-Off, Irish Road Bowling tournament and Jammin' at Hippie Jack's Americana Music Festival are just a few of the fun must-see events waiting for you in Cookeville.

Cookeville Funfests, Festivals and Events
FALL FUNFEST - SEPTEMBER

Try the 3-mile fun run before feasting at a barbecue competition, then catch some live music, try some family-friendly games and shop for locally crafted artwork. There's a reason Cookeville's Fall FunFest has been described as the event with "something for everyone."
Held by CityScape on the Cookeville Courthouse Square, this event is Cookeville's Main Street festival, combining crafts and entertainment with WCTE-TV's Stations of Imagination for young children and the Cookeville Cook-Off barbecue competition. Barbecue teams from all parts of the country come to compete.
