We are thrilled to be collaborating with the UT Dept. of Earth, Environmental, & Planetary Sciences, Tennessee State Parks, Seven Islands State Birding Park, and many other partners, our first ever Tennessee River Mussel Fest will be held at Seven Islands State Birding Park on June 27, 2026. Some activities will include demonstration such as effect of mussels on dirty water in a fish tank, and other activities like the Mussel Memory game.

Please email Jackson Dyke, Education & Outreach Coordinator, if you’re a vendor interested in hosting a booth or activity station at this innovative, first-ever festival within the Tennessee River watershed!
