Mountain Makins is a weekend folk life festival celebrating the traditions of Appalachia. The festival honors the rich traditions of the past and supports modern interpretations of those traditions. More than just a fine art and craft show, visitors to the family-friendly event enjoy a variety of activities including two stages of mountain music, storytelling, prize-winning dancers, regional authors, children’s activities, and abundant good food. One special feature is the live demonstration of traditional crafts such as blacksmithing, hide tanning, and wood turning. With 5,000 visitors, this is one of Hamblen County’s largest events. Several hundred volunteers contribute countless hours to ensure the success of this cherished autumn celebration.
