The festival takes full advantage of what The Caverns has to offer both above and below the Earth’s surface. The Caverns Amphitheater, with its spacious area for chairs and dancing, will host the headlining performances against the backdrop of the majestic Cumberland Plateau. The Caverns’ famed underground concert hall will offer a second stage for additional performances, late-night shows, daily open jam sessions, a sound bath, and cave yoga. Attendees can also enjoy on-site camping, glamping packages, cave tours, food trucks, local craft vendors, surprise performances, and more.
“Now in our third year, CaveFest is a signature festival at The Caverns,” said The Caverns owner Todd Mayo in a statement. “The community of bands and fans, the idyllic setting—both above and below ground—and Tennessee’s beautiful autumn weather, it’s all a recipe for a magical weekend in Grundy County.”
All CaveFest tickets include camping. Kids 12 and under are free. Various VIP, glamping, and RV parking options are also available. One dollar from every CaveFest ticket will go to the Sewanee Mountain Grotto to support cave conservation efforts.
