Music & Molasses festival offers a weekend of family fun

The Tennessee Department of AgricultureNashville, TN – The annual Music & Molasses Arts & Crafts Festival on October 19th and 20th at Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville will feature an array of events that are sure to please the whole family.

“It’s a weekend of family fun with molasses making and tasting, music shows, square dancing and delicious food,” said Anne Dale, director of the Tennessee Agricultural Museum. “From the free horse-drawn wagon rides, to the beautiful hand-crafted items, there’s something for everyone, including many activities for the kids.”

Children can see and touch farm animals, take a pony ride, milk a goat, visit with Smokey Bear, tour Smokey’s log cabin, climb the fire tower with their parents or find the Country Hollow for farmer-for-day activities.

“This year we are also very excited about a private collection of over 10,000 butterflies and moths, some dating back to the 1800s that will be on public view for the first time ever,” Dale said.

Hours are 9:00am to 4:00pm on Saturday and 10:00am to 4:00pm on Sunday. Admission is $5.00. Children 4 and under are free and parking is free.

Ellington Agricultural Center is located 10 miles south of downtown Nashville, accessible from Franklin Pike or Edmondson Pike.
