The third annual festival on Main Street stretched from Liberty Street past the courthouse square to Paris Nance Road. Tucked inside this area were 3 rows of tents that were filled with homemade crafts, food vendors and informational booths. You could even get a free flu shot from Tennova-La Follette Medical Center.

Thomas Gabriel, the oldest grandson of the legendary Johnny Cash, was the headline performer for the event, but there were several local performers also on hand.

There was a variety of food vendors providing all kinds of tasty treats all along the event route.

The festival also provided fun things for the kids including a bounce house, and a lot of kids got the chance to sit in one of Jacksboro’s fire trucks and get their picture taken.

Jacksboro Police Chief Daniel Smith said, this is the third Jacksboro Fall Festival and definitely the largest. This year had an increase in the number of vendors and activities, and the beautiful weather helped provide the largest turn out ever. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-10/06/2025-6AM)
