Morristown sits at the center of Hamblen County, and most of the year's biggest gatherings happen within a fifteen-minute drive of the Skymart overhead sidewalks downtown. The calendar above is updated continuously with what locals submit and what we import from area organizers. Below is the rhythm of a typical year, so you can plan ahead even when a date has not been announced yet.
The Morristown Farmers Market returns downtown on Saturday mornings, Cherokee Lake marinas reopen for the boating season, and Panther Creek State Park fills with hikers on the first warm weekends.
Downtown concert series evenings, the Hamblen County Fair, church homecomings and Independence Day fireworks over the lake make summer the busiest stretch on the Morristown calendar.
Friday night high school football anchors the week, while craft fairs, fall festivals and the Rose Center's seasonal programming fill weekends across Hamblen County.
The Morristown Christmas parade downtown, tree lightings, holiday craft markets and church cantatas run from late November through the end of December.
Our calendar above lists approved upcoming events by date, and the This Weekend page narrows it to Friday through Sunday. Typical weekends include the downtown farmers market, live music at local taprooms, Cherokee Lake outings and Panther Creek State Park trails.
