The 19th annual Trails and Trilliums Festival will be April 21–23, at the Beersheba Springs Assembly in Beersheba Springs. This is a project of the Friends of South Cumberland State Park (FSC) and a benefit for the State Park.

South Cumberland and Savage Gulf State Parks are host to some of the most beautiful and interesting landscapes in the region. This is a weekend celebrating and exploring this unique natural world through educational and adventurous activities. Among the people attracted to this festival are families, individuals, nature enthusiasts, citizen scientists, local historians, artists, and naturalists.

We focus on vendors of native plants and items related to gardening, hiking and the great outdoors such as bird houses, outdoor sculpture, deck furniture, walking sticks, botanical prints and notecards, and local produce and honey.

There is no booth fee. Vendors will donate 20 percent of their proceeds to the Friends of South Cumberland. Non-profit groups will donate 10 percent.

Vendors are invited to participate on Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, April 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vendors who can come both days are preferred. If you are interested in being a vendor, please send a description of your merchandise, a price range, and two photographs. Include your website, if available.

We will contact you soon to let you know if we think you are a good match for our event. If you were a vendor with us last year, you just need to let us know that you will attend again this year.

The Beersheba Springs Assembly is located at 58 Hege Ave. If you are interested in staying there during the festival, call (931) 692-3669 to make those arrangements. Beersheba Springs is located about 40 minutes from Monteagle.
