Dandridge Fall Days Festival

Celebrate the sights, sounds, and flavors of autumn at the Dandridge Fall Festival, returning to Historic Downtown Dandridge on Saturday, October 24!

Set among the historic streets of Tennessee’s second-oldest town, this annual celebration brings together live music, local artisans and crafters, food vendors, family-friendly activities, and plenty of fall fun for a full day in downtown Dandridge.

Come hungry and enjoy one of the festival’s biggest highlights—the Chili Cookoff, where local cooks put their best recipes to the test in both judged and People’s Choice competitions. Festivalgoers can get in on the fun by sampling entries and voting for their favorites. The festival also features a BBQ competition, adding even more smoky, savory flavors to the day.

Throughout the festival, enjoy live performances from local and regional musicians, browse booths filled with handmade goods and unique finds, visit the Kids Zone, and sample delicious offerings from local food vendors.

While you’re downtown, take time to explore Dandridge’s historic district, visit local shops and restaurants, and enjoy the small-town atmosphere that makes fall in Jefferson County so special.

Bring the family, bring your appetite, and spend a beautiful October day celebrating food, music, community, and fall in Historic Dandridge!
