This is the time of the season when the purple rhododendrons at the 6,000 foot level on Roan Mountain are at their peak and June 16 is the day of the annual Rhododendron Festival at Roan Mountain State Park at the foot of the mountain near the town of Roan Mountain. Please note that the rhododendron gardens on the mountain top are a federal fee area operated by the National Forest Service and not associated with the Tennessee SP system. Here is link to the festival- Roan Mountain, Tennessee - Rhododendron Festival

There are some festival-like music events going on in the area.

On 15 June at 7PM the free "Bluegrass On Broad" concert will take place on Broad Street in downtown Kingsport featuring Raisin' Cain Band (young and very talented group).

Here is a clip from the last show last year featuring the ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band from the university in Johnson City-

At the same time, 7 PM, in downtown Jonesborough is the free "Music On The Square" concert featuring Reagan Boggs and her band. Reagan is a talented singer/songwriter who grew up in the coal mining area to our north in Virginia. Her songs of coal mining culture can be a bit melancholy which goes with the territory.

Next week on June 22 is a must-see 8 year old fiddling champion and his band- - Carson Peters and the Sheets Family Band - Music on the Square Concert Series - - Tri-Cities, Tennessee, Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City

On Saturday Night the Carter Family Music Center has their weekly 7 PM show which will feature The Whitetop Mountain Band from Grayson County, Virginia (they are the real deal when it comes to the old time traditional music)-
