SMALL TOWN SOUTHERN CHARM...

Take a stroll down Bristol’s unique downtown State Street and you’ll discover why Bristol is rich with history.  Marked by brass markers, the official state line of Tennessee and Virginia runs down the middle of the street. A great opportunity to take a picture while standing in two states at once among several downtown attractions, cafe’s and antique & specialty shops. A true Main Street USA.

A RICH MUSIC AND RACING HISTORY...

Come relax and listen to the sounds that inspired some of the greatest country music legends like Jimmy Rogers, the Carter Family and others. The old-time-mountain music and musicians of a 1927 recording sessions in Bristol went on to shape what country music is today.  Declared by the U.S. Congress as the Birthplace of Country Music, and known as the “Big Bang of Country Music”, Bristol remains true to its roots and keeps the music alive with performances most nights and the Rhythm and Roots Music Festival in September.

If fast and thrilling is more your speed, then visit the world’s fastest half mile race track at the Bristol Motor Speedway and Dragway.  Complete with track tour opportunities, interactive fan zone and a souvenir store, you’ll learn why NASCAR drivers test the limits every year hoping to become the next great Bristol legend.
