Saturday, Sept. 14's gonna be a big day in Sumner County if your family loves bluegrass music. Both Hendersonville and Gallatin have bluegrass festivities offering family fun.

GALLATIN: GRIT, GRACE & GRUB FOOD AND BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL

Music and food come together during the Grit, Grace & Grub Food and Bluegrass Festival. It's a progressive-style event, meaning there are several stops to enjoy the fun versus it all happening at one destination. You purchase a "passport" in advance, which incudes a map and your tickets to all participating music locations and restaurants. The passport is $25, and you can purchase it HERE. You'll pick up your passport between 1 – 4 p.m. on the day of the event at the Gallatin Farmers' Market (160 W. Franklin St.). The festival runs from 3 – 7 p.m. For more info, contact the Gallatin Chamber of Commerce at 615-452-4000 or visit gallatintn.org.
