Martin's Soybean Festival Returns in September

The Tennessee Soybean Festival returns to Martin, September 2-11. Dozens of events, contests and exhibitions will take place across the city, at the UT-M campus, and predominantly at Virginia Weldon Park.

Highlights include concerts by Vince Gill, the Brothers Osborne, Hunter Hayes, Blood Sweat and Tears, Three Dog Night, Morris Day and the Time, The Plain White T's and more. (Tickets are being sold to these shows for the area adjacent to the stage, tickets available at the link below.) There will also be many other musical events featuring local talent.

Perhaps the most unique soybean-related event is the biodiesel truck and tractor pull on Saturday Sept. 3.

Fireworks will be on display Sunday night Sept. 4 at the recreational complex.
 
The Soybean Festival parade will take place Tuesday Sept. 6 at 6:30 pm. 

There'll be a barbecue cookoff Friday, Sept. 9 at Weldon Park, including a bacon eating contest.
