Welcome To Johnson City, TN

The picturesque community lies in the northeastern corner of the state. The terrain ranges from valleys to the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Watauga River also flows through the city. As such, the location is ideal for year-round recreation.

William Bean was the first to arrive in the area and constructed a cabin here in 1769. Settlers followed and developed farms. Henry Johnson established a railroad station here in 1856, which he named for himself. Decades later, Johnson City would be the site where the popular soft drink Mountain Dew would emerge.

Things To Do

By the middle of June, the rhododendrons on Roan Mountain are in full bloom. The annual event sparks the Roan Mountain Rhododendron Festival. The festivities take place at Roan Mountain State Park and include arts and crafts demonstrations and vendors, a variety of food and live entertainment. All are invited to learn about the history of the area and visit the beautiful mountain gardens.

Each August, the community hosts the annual Little Chicago Downtown Music & Arts Festival. Two stages present live entertainment by bands playing music that represents the mountain tradition. A multitude of arts and crafts vendors display their handmade items. Local restaurants are found in food booths and vendors offer popular fair foods. Some of the family-friendly activities include a car show, a kid's fun zone, a roller derby and a 5k race.

For an entire week each August, Johnson City hosts the Appalachian Fair at the county fairgrounds. In addition to animal and agricultural exhibits, events include a demolition derby, lawn mower races, a tough truck competition and truck pulls. Talent contests and fair royalty are named. Each evening different musical guests provide concerts.

During the first weekend in September, the diverse community presents the annual Umoja Festival. Umoja is a Swahili word meaning unity. The event is designed to bring people of all ethnic backgrounds together for two days of fun and harmony. Tens of thousands attend the festivities, which include live entertainment, artist demonstrations, craft exhibits and family activities.
