CaveFest marks the turn from summer into Tennessee autumn, when the hills around The Caverns begin to take on their fall colors and the days are made for live music outdoors. During the festival, The Caverns Amphitheater stage will host performances by Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Peter Rowan & Sam Grisman Project, Rising Appalachia Music, the John Prine 80th Birthday Celebration and many more throughout the day. Kick back in a lawn chair on the hillside, or make your way down to the stage. No matter where you go, the views are a pretty great complement to all the sounds, songs, and stories.

Get your tickets at CaveFest.com. Wanna go big? The deadline for VIP Packages is October 1!
