For a family-friendly event filled with history, heritage, authors and vendors, visit Cades Cove Preservation Association’s Cades Cove Family Harvest Festival and Homecoming on Friday, Oct. 3, and Saturday, Oct. 4. Vendors will sell a variety of unique items, descendants of Cades Cove will be on hand to talk about life prior to their former home community becoming part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and authors will have their books for sale. Visitors can tour the Cades Cove Museum, shop at its store with no sales tax and also find bargains on items at the perpetual yard sale at 50% off.
The Family Harvest Festival and Homecoming will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days on the grounds of the Cades Cove Museum, located in the historic Thompson-Brown House at 1004 E. Lamar Alexander Parkway, Maryville, near the Blount County Justice Center. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome to attend.
