2026 Annual Gathering of the Tennessee Folklore Society

ETHS is proud to sponsor this exciting event celebrating the songs, stories, music, crafts, and traditions that make Tennessee’s cultural heritage so special.

The Annual Gathering is free and open to the public! Whether you’re passionate about history, music, folklore, or simply discovering the stories that connect us, there’s something for everyone.

Registered guests can step inside the newly restored Eugenia Williams House, the long-hidden 1941 riverbluff estate designed by Knoxville-born architect John Fanz Staub. Here, guests will attend a special performance by Ashlee Mays and Knoxville Old-Time duo, Duck & Ryan.

ETHS is thrilled to support this celebration of Tennessee’s rich cultural heritage and help bring this wonderful gathering to our community. We hope to see you there!
