Each region of the country has its own distinctive set of traditions and cultural events. When you choose to live in or visit the Southern U.S. you can guarantee that things there are much different than they are in the Northern section of the country. When you find yourself in Murfreesboro, TN in the summer months, it's worth your time to check out what all of the excitement is about with the Annual Uncle Dave Macon Days at the
Cannonsburgh Village. This 2 day event happens every July and is a great way to get to know the South as it used to be. The event is pretty much a music and dance festival with strong ties to the region's bluegrass roots. In addition to performances by groups and individuals who may have had their beginnings before you were born, you will also be treated to all kinds of contests participated in by some of the most talented people in this kind of entertainment.
As if the music, dancing, and contests weren't enough the Annual Uncle Dave Macon Days at
Cannonsburgh Village also host a Motorless Parade. Instead of floats on motorized wheels and souped up cars, you will see horses decked out in their best as well as buggies and carriages tricked out to draw attention. In addition to the great events and activities you can be sure there will be plenty of food and drink vendors offering Southern favorites as well. For a free event, it doesn't get any better than this.
