The Bell Buckle Chamber of Commerce’s annual RC-MoonPie Festival is held annually on the third Saturday in June. This wacky, fun for the whole family event celebrates the South’s original fast food – an ice cold RC Cola and a fresh MoonPie. Smiling visitors from all over the world (we can prove it cause there’s a “who travelled the furtherest contest!) stream into the downtown area where they find plenty of music, cloggers, weird but fun contests, MoonPie games, and a colorful parade just to name a few of the many things that occur throughout the day. This grand old-fashioned celebration invites snack lovers from all over the world to enjoy a jam-packed day of fun for the whole family.

Bell Buckle is located in neighboring Bedford County and is normally a 35 minute drive from Tullahoma. However, given the size of the normal crowd and popularity of the event, your drive time to the event could be significantly longer.
