There is a *lot* going on this weekend!
Art Festivals:
Birmingham, Alabama: Bluff Park Art Show. Here’s the post from last year’s show.
Biloxi, Mississippi: George E. Ohr Fall Festival of Arts. Artist pics here.
Tiptonville, Tennessee: Reelfoot Arts & Crafts Festival. Over 300 exhibitors – but I couldn’t find a list of artists. It’s listed as a “top 3” arts and crafts festival in Tennessee.
Memphis, Tennessee: 37th Annual Pink Palace Crafts Fair. Can’t find an artist list for them, either, but I know that my friend Stephanie Dwyer who makes the crazy-fabulous bottle trees will be there.
Traditional Music:
Nashville, Tennessee: 38th Annual Grand Master Fiddler Championship.
Vicksburg, Mississippi: Festival of Civil War Music at the Old Courthouse. The name? Rebstock.
Athens, Alabama: 43rd Annual Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention
Other:
In Jonesborough, Tennessee: the 37th Annual National Storytelling Festival (and Kathryn Tucker-Windham will be there! Lots of other very interesting people.).
