4 Things to Do in Clarksville This Weekend (May 30-31)
Memorial Day weekend may be behind us, but Clarksville isn’t slowing down. From the final night of the county fair to a free outdoor movie under the stars, this weekend is packed with family-friendly fun across town. Here are four great ways to spend your Saturday, plus a little neighborhood perspective from a local Realtor who loves showing off everything this city has to offer.
Final Day of the Montgomery County Fair
The Montgomery County Fair wraps up its run on Saturday, May 30, with gates open from 1 to 10 p.m. Expect all the classics: carnival rides, midway games, food vendors, exhibits, and the ever-popular Swifty Swine pig races. Midway admission is $8 for adults (12 and up), $5 for kids ages 4 to 11, and free for children 3 and under. It’s the last chance this year to catch the fair, so don’t wait.
2nd Annual Summer Festival at Kenwood High School
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, the 2nd Annual Summer Festival takes over Kenwood High School (251 E. Pine Mountain Rd.) to benefit the future Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee - Clarksville Club. The day includes bounce houses, inflatables, face painting, a game truck, vendor shopping, food trucks, live music from DJ Budda Fly, a silent auction, free haircuts for kids, city emergency vehicles, and a community blood drive. Admission is free for adults and just $5 for children under 17, a great cause and a fun afternoon rolled into one.
Lilo & Stitch Movie Night at Downtown Commons
Bring your lawn chairs and blankets to Downtown Commons (215 Legion St.) on Saturday evening for a free outdoor showing of Lilo & Stitch, courtesy of Montgomery County Parks and Recreation. The movie starts at 7:30 p.m. It’s a relaxed, budget-friendly way to cap off the day, and a perfect excuse to enjoy the heart of downtown Clarksville after dark.
Wendy’s Invitational Golf at The River Club
Golf fans and supporters of Austin Peay athletics can head to The River Club this Saturday for the Wendy’s Invitational, a two-player tournament whose proceeds benefit the APSU men’s golf program, a partnership that has lasted more than 25 years. Players compete for prizes including $25,000 for a hole-in-one on select holes. Even if you’re not teeing off, it’s a scenic spot worth knowing about along the Cumberland.
A Realtor’s Take
One of the things I love most about Clarksville is how easy it is to build a life here around weekends like this. Families looking at the Kenwood and Sango areas are often drawn to the strong sense of community that events like the Summer Festival reflect, while buyers who want walkable access to downtown dining, festivals, and movie nights gravitate toward neighborhoods near Downtown Commons. And for anyone relocating from out of state or PCSing to Fort Campbell, weekends like this are the quickest way to feel at home. If you’re thinking about where in Clarksville fits your lifestyle, I’d love to help you find the right fit.
