The Tennessee State Fair opens its gates on August 12 in Wilson County for 10 days of family fun. Honoring Hometown Heroes is this year’s theme and local Tennesseans were encouraged to decorate their mailboxes and doors for one of the first competitions of this year’s fair.

All 95 counties of Tennessee will be represented at the fair where Governor Bill Lee is expected to speak during an opening ceremony on August 12 at 6 p.m. Following the ceremony, there will be a military flyover and a parade honoring the hometown heroes the fair is dedicated to this season.

The Wilson County Fair-Tennessee State Fair will run from Thursday, August 12 to Saturday, August 21. During this time, a multitude of events, shows and concerts will take place. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, follow their Facebook page, Wilson County Fair- TN State Fair.

Parking is available in two locations and you can take a shuttle to the fairgrounds. The shuttle will make trips until 11p.m. during the 10-day fair period. The rides are about a 5 minute trip from the designated parking areas.
