A little-known piece of agricultural history will be celebrated with the International Cowpea Festival & Cook-off returning for its 11th year, to the public park in Charleston, Tennessee.

The festival is set for Sept. 9, 2023 beginning at 10 a.m.

The event will include a cook-off focusing on cowpea recipes created by professional chefs. A marketplace will feature arts and crafts, produce and other local items for sale.

Returning this year will be a children’s area, entertainment, photo contest, food vendors, and a heritage area to share other parts of Charleston’s story such as Cherokee, Civil War and Wild River history!
