Meet the Mountains Festival

The 6th Annual Meet the Mountains Festival presented by Visit Johnson City is quickly approaching and will be at Winged Deer Park Lakefront in Johnson City on Friday, August 9 and Saturday, August 10.

Meet the Mountains is a free, family-friendly festival that promotes Northeast Tennessee’s world-class outdoor assets. The festival acts as a one-stop shop to experience the region’s outdoor opportunities. An estimated 10,000 people attend the two-day festival. Activities include live music in the amphitheater, zipline, bike course, demo pool, air dog shows, yoga, rock wall, and more! There will be a variety of food options on-site, local beer selection, and vendors that encompass air, earth, and water themes.

Attendees can expect to connect with the people and resources to capitalize on the region’s outdoor amenities, and educational seminars will be presented promoting Leave No Trace principles and No Waste initiatives as well. The festival is planned with sustainability and preservation at the forefront. The ideal results of this festival are enhancing the livability and health of our community and attracting visitors to enjoy everything Northeast Tennessee has to offer.

Winged Deer Park Lakefront provides growth capacity for the festival, pre-existing infrastructure, and a convenient location for surrounding communities. The new location also enhances popular event activities, including the demo pool in Boone Lake, and mountain biking and disc golfing at Winged Deer Park.

Festival planners encourage the public to visit MTMFest.org to learn more and view the complete festival schedule. There are many on-site and off-site recreational activities throughout the weekend to enjoy and experience.

The mission of Meet the Mountains is to promote Johnson City and the region’s world-class outdoor assets to all.
