“We hope to see the community come out and enjoy a fun evening and celebrate Tennessee’s town” stated Ron Alley. Smyrna is a great town with a unique history and we are thrilled to be a small part of breathing life back into one of the town’s most historic buildings.”

The celebration continues on Saturday morning with the opening day of Smyrna’s much anticipated farmers market. The farmers market will run every other Saturday through the summer on Front Street. Vendors and local artisans who would still like to be a part of this historic event are encouraged to secure a spot.

Simply Smyrna Celebration will be held in historic downtown Smyrna on Front Street and is free to attend. The festival is sponsored locally by Chick-fil-A Smyrna, Home Depot and Dempsey, Dilling and Associates.
