In Bristol, you'll find the stories of yesterday are still being written today. Stories that started with humble beginnings have grown to legendary proportions. Like the recording sessions that spawned a musical movement. Or the old-fashioned racetrack that grew into NASCAR's most beloved track.
These are the things that unite us, and set us apart. The first country music recordings earned Bristol the title of Birthplace of Country Music, and we hold this title dearly. The tradition continues with great live performances throughout the year including Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion music festival, and music venues in our historic downtown.
If you enjoy nature, we're home to some of the best fishing, biking, boating and places to hike and picnic, like the Steele Creek Park, Sugar Hollow Park and South Holston Lake. Why not include the whole family in our special attractions? We feature a 35-mile long Virginia Creeper Trail and parts of the Appalachian Trail. If you love being underground, there is also an option to visit the Bristol Caverns.
Don't worry, if you're not into being one with nature, we still have more for you to do! Bristol is home to the Paramount Center for the Arts, which hosts many wonderful, exciting productions. In historic downtown, you'll come across many professional artist studios and galleries. There is also the Barter Theatre, and State Theatre of Virginia. Being connected to the arts is very important to us here in Bristol.
Aside from the arts, Historic downtown Bristol and the entire area is rich with history that dates to before the Revolutionary War. History comes to life through attractions like Tales and Trails and Rocky Mount. No matter what your interests are, we've got just the thing for you here in Bristol.
We can't wait to see you here. Make sure to plan your next vacation or weekend visit in Bristol -- famous for our hospitality and Southern charm. No matter your interests, we are home to just about everything!
