Community Revives Soybean Festival

The Tennessee Soybean Festival’s 2026 cancellation sparked a community uprising—locals, led by Martin’s Coffee and Bakery, are launching a grassroots alternative: Martin’s Grassroots Soybean Festival. This new, smaller, community-driven event will celebrate local talent, food, music, and farmers at Virginia Weldon Park from September 10–12, with all profits going to a firefighter equipment fund. Already, 30 volunteers are on board, turning disappointment into a rallying cry for connection and giving back. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
