Things to do: Experience Spring Hill, Pup Pool Parties, fireworks and music
This weekend get a one-stop opportunity to learn about Middle Tennessee's fastest-growing city, take the family pup to a pool party or stock up on those 4th of July fireworks.
1. Experience Spring Hill 2023
Is it possible to experience all the great things Spring Hill has to offer in one day, let alone under one roof?
The annual Experience Spring Hill expo returns this weekend at Summit High School, 2830 Twin Lakes Drive, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.
The free community event is a great way for residents both new and old to learn about Spring Hill's local small businesses, civic organizations, nonprofits, restaurants and local tourism attractions.
More than 100 vendor booths will be set up, as well as a kids zone featuring face painting and hair braiding stations, a "touch a truck" display, mobile gaming and virtual reality stations. There will also be a bounce house, as well as a few "characters" to meet and grab photo-ops.
A food court will feature local restaurants, as well as demonstrations from local dance groups and gyms.
