Ivy Academy will host the annual Cumberland Trail Spring Festival on its campus, adjacent the North Chickamauga Creek Gorge, 8520 Dayton Pike in Soddy-Daisy, on Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
"The Cumberland Trail State Park staff provides Ivy Academy very generous support throughout the year, and the school looks forward to partnering with them by hosting the festival annually, beginning with this year. This is an event for the whole family," officials said.
Guided hikes will be held throughout the day in the North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy, in addition to interpretive programs held by Tennessee State Parks. Activities will include: wildflower and historical hikes, Native American demonstrations, nature scavenger hunts in the gorge, plant sales by Trailhead Nursery and Ivy Academy, a display by the Soddy, Daisy, and Montlake Historical Association, invasive plant basket weaving, live music by Flatlands Jump, food vendors, craft vendors, and a silent auction.
All proceeds benefit Ivy Academy and The Cumberland Trail State Park.
