If you have lived in Winchester for any stretch of time, you already know the rhythm. Spring belongs to High on the Hog at the city park. Fall belongs to the courthouse lawn and holiday windows. Summer, for a long time, was the quiet season you spent on the lake.
That quiet summer is over. What has happened on the square over the last two years is not a festival calendar. It is a weekly one. Trivia at Good Game on Tuesdays, wine walks that spill out of Walnut Hill Coffee on Thursday evenings, cruise-ins along Tims Ford Drive on Saturday mornings. The square is running a schedule now, and the state of Tennessee just cut a check that says it is paying attention.
The Grant That Reframes The Fourth
Winchester's Fourth of July has always been a lake town affair. Boats out early, fireworks over the water, city park in between. This year the city put an anchor in the ground.
