Join your friends and family at the Total Tech Solutions Stage near the Train Depot at Discovery Park of America on Friday nights in May and June for a family-friendly summer concert series. Bring your blanket, lawn chairs or grab a seat on the Train Depot and listen to some of your favorite local entertainers and bands perform from the stage overlooking the beautiful lake. You can fish on the bank of the lake, watch the sunset against the horizon, enjoy a cocktail or just sit back and chat with friends. It will be a great way to kick off your summertime long weekends.

Rhythm on the Rails is not just a music festival – it’s also a food lover’s paradise! Each Friday night will feature multiple delicious treats to go along with the theme. From classic festival flare like hot dogs and popcorn to street tacos and fried catfish, you will want to come hungry. In addition to savory dishes, we also offer a variety of sweet treats to satisfy your sweet tooth. Some nights will feature classic favorites like funnel cakes and cotton candy. And of course, we can’t forget about the drinks. We offer a variety of beer, wine and specialty cocktails to complement your meal and enhance your festival experience. With so many delicious options to choose from, you’re sure to find your new favorite festival food.

This is also the first festival at Discovery Park presented in part with support from the Tennessee Arts Commission. The mission of the Tennessee Arts Commission is to stimulate and encourage the presentation of the visual, literary, musical and performing arts and to encourage public interest in the cultural heritage of Tennessee. The concert series is also sponsored by Blue Bank Resort, Volunteer Distributing, Williams Sausage and The Citizens Bank.
