Cherokee Heritage Festival –August 2-3, Saturday-Sunday This event is sponsored by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Friends of Red Clay. The event, as well as most events held at the Red Clay State Historic Park near Cleveland, is of interest to all those who are interested in the Cherokee heritage and history in this area. The times will be 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., both days. This is the first of a new annual event that will offer a different Cherokee theme each year. This year, the theme will be “Resistance and Persistence: The Formation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee”. Complete with traditional singing and dancing, Native American foods, nature programs, Cherokee vendors, 18th and 19th century living history historians, storytelling, and other programs throughout the weekend. Be sure to enjoy the traditional game of Stickball and hear the lectures about the Cherokee removal and the formation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee. There will also be a new temporary exhibit in the Visitor’s Center that will focus on the new theme. We look forward to seeing you there. If interested in purchasing food or gifts from the Cherokee vendors and artisans, it is advisable to bring cash. Other costs include $5.00 per vehicle for parking. There are short hiking trails at the Park, so if you feel like a little exercise, bring your walking shoes/boots. The terrain is a little hilly, but the trails are well-made and don’t have a lot of rocks. For more information please call the park office at 423-478-0339. Directions from Cleveland: head south down I-75 and turn at Exit 20, going east (left) on U.S. 74/Bypass U.S. 64/APD 40. Go a few miles, and turn down Blue Springs Road to the right, going south. Continue for several miles. The road will come to a “T” intersection at some point; just take a right, and Blue Springs Road will continue there. When Blue Springs Road crosses TN State Highway 317 (Weatherly Switch Trail), continue to go straight. The road name changes at that point to Red Clay Park 3 Road. At the fork, bear to the right. The road will pass over a creek shortly after. Continue for a ways, and the road will curve to the left and then to the right. You should start seeing the signs to the Red Clay State Historic Park around that point; just follow the signs. The entrance to the park will be on the right. If you have crossed the state line into Georgia, you have gone a little too far.
