Pickin' in the Park
Cup and Cross Ministries will be putting together a Pickin' in the Park during the month of June 2025. This event is a self-led organic gathering of Appalachian music lovers, old and young alike! Whether you are a seasoned musician or just starting out or even just an enthusiast of traditional mountain music, please come and hang out. It is open to everyone and is free to attend. It will be held at Sugarloaf Mountain Park in Benton, TN every Friday evening in June starting at 6:30pm and ending before the park closes at sunset. This event purposes to keep traditional Appalachian music alive and is a way to celebrate our shared love for old-style tunes in a community setting. Bring your own chairs.
This event is weather permitting and not a program of the state park, but if you would like to make a park donation for their maintenance efforts and appreciation for granting permission to gather at this beautiful jewel of Polk County, TN you can do so here: https://tnstateparks.com/parks/donate/hiwassee-oco...
