The tiny but tenacious town of Clarksville, Tennessee pulls out all the stops for its annual Rivers & Spires festival, which will take place April 17-19, 2008. You'll find something to do on every corner of historic downtown Clarksville during the festival, with interactive entertainment, southern and international food, and a wealth of live music options. With a population of just 113,000, Clarksville isn't a huge city by any means, which makes the sheer number of entertainment offerings nothing short of staggering. On Saturday alone, more than seventy performances will take place on five different stages, with everything from martial arts demos to belly dancers to the U.S. Navy band. Look out for local favorite Mark Evans and His Tennessee Cowboys on the Public Square Stage at 3:00 p.m. And if you fancy a glass of merlot to go with your music, drop by the Jazz & Wine area, where $10 gets you all the samples you like of wines from Tennessee and around the world. Rivers & Spires is one of the biggest yearly arts festivals in the south, and its a great time to visit this vibrant town on the Cumberland River. Don't miss the "Last Train to Clarksville." (Sorry, I had to.) Clarksville is less than an hour's drive from the Sheraton Nashville Downtown Hotel.
