The Digest Pucker up in Shady Valley, TN, at the Cranberry Festival
Back to Front Table of Contents Calendar of Events Vacation Guide Lodging/Service/Sites

Autumn’s leaves, a unique cranberry bog and the mountains make a picture-perfect setting for the seventh annual Cranberry Festival in Shady Valley, Tennessee, October 8-10.

While cranberries are no longer harvested, the area’s natural bog still supports a few boreal cranberry plants, thus inspiring the Cranberry Festival. It is held on the five acres that surround the local 60-year-old Shady Valley Elementary School, with its unique rock structure.

Friday evening is a bean supper followed by an auction. Saturday, October 10, offers a full day of activities topped off by a special anniversary concert by Jett Williams, live at the Bristol Paramount.
