Pilgrimage always has surprises on stage that include guest appearances, acoustic performances, and unique pairings. Pilgrimage freely mixes genres and musical styles to create an intentionally diverse music experience throughout the day so you can see all of your favorites and discover new ones.
Pilgrimage has always presented itself as family friendly which means kids are welcomed and encouraged to experience festival culture at young age. Specifically, at the Lil’ Pilgrims Area with Grammy award winning producer, Ralph Covert, kids experience numerous activities, renowned artists, and are presented musical talent at a high level that has underscored a commitment to the “all ages” experience.
Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival is Saturday and Sunday, September 24-25, 2022, at the Park at Harlinsdale Farm in beautiful Franklin, Tennessee. Every ticket purchased supports MusiCares and The Friends of Franklin Parks.

52nd Annual Spring Tennessee Craft Fair

52nd Annual Spring Tennessee Craft Fair, Centennial Park, Nashville

Tennessee Craft presents the 52nd Annual Spring Tennessee Craft Fair, in Nashville’s iconic Centennial Park. Artists from across the nation will exhibit their handmade crafts on the Great Lawn adjacent to the Parthenon, showcasing fine crafts from clay, jewelry, and leather to wood, glass, painting, and more.

Organizational partners will be onsite in our Kids’ Tent throughout the weekend sharing a variety of craft techniques with our youngest fairgoers and guiding children through art activities that they can recreate at home using ordinary materials and their creativity.
In the Demonstration Tent, watch and learn “how it’s made” from the Tennessee Association of Woodturners, the Clay Lady’s Campus, and This Little Light Creative Glass.
The Emerging Makers Tent is another exciting place to be during the fair! Artists who are just beginning their craft careers or are exhibiting in a craft fair for the first time work together in a group selling environment to support each other in set up, display, selling and customer service.
Through the fairs and a robust calendar of year-round programs, Tennessee Craft impacts current and future generations of craft artists and collectors. Tennessee Craft Fairs (held each Spring and Fall) are the premier outdoor events for artists to showcase and sell their work in an intimate and personal setting. Craft artists connect with the community by demonstrating their craft knowledge and processes.
As always, this free event is accessible to the public – with free parking and free shuttle service on Saturday and Sunday. Shuttles will run in 15-minute loops from the HCA Parking Lots located on Park Plaza to the entrance of the Tennessee Craft Fair. Gray Line of Tennessee generously provides this free service.

Fair hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
