I was looking out for cool vacation rentals in Tennessee and discovered that there are a host of interesting festivals celebrated in that state through the year. It makes sense to time ones stay with one of these, and you can take your pick depending on the location and flavor you want.
There are some interesting festivals and fairs with agricultural or country themes - livestock, pet show, rodeo ride, and food themes like strawberry, pumpkin or tomato.
There are also music and culture related festivals which sound wonderful. A country music festival takes place at Nashville, you can now catch it in June 2009. If you want to plan your stay and would like to know more about this festival, visit this link.
Right now, the Fall Folklore Jamboree is set to start in Milan. Over a 100 traditional folk artists, musicians and demonstrators will make appearances at the West Tennessee Agricultural Museum and demonstrate traditional crafts like broom making, quilting and doll making.
Local bluegrass and gospel music groups will perform throughout the day, and there will also be demonstrations of cooking. Read more details about the festival here.
