The last weekend in April, the town of South Pittsburg, TN - thirty miles west of Chattanooga in Marion County - hosts the National Cornbread Festival.

This year’s festival, which runs Saturday and Sunday, kicks off with a first-ever “pre-heat party” on Thursday - featuring The War and Treaty with Hannah Dasher at the Princess Theatre.

Beth Duggar is the Festival’s president.
