The Smokies' biggest hometown fair - a full week of carnival rides, livestock shows, rodeo events, live music, pageants, fair food, and community contests ending on Labor Day. Features a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, scrambler, drop tower, RC Cola & Moonpie eating contest, dog fashion show, cosplay, and a fun talent show. A true Appalachian county fair experience at 754 Old Knoxville Hwy. Admission varies.
The real deal - not a tourist attraction but a genuine Appalachian county fair. The livestock shows honor the region's agricultural roots.
