# It’s Tennessee

> Tennessee (the U.S. state) regional events guides built on published sources: festivals, concerts, sports, food, arts, outdoors and holiday lights, with event dates, admission prices, drive times and state park fees. Every figure is dated and linked to the organizer's own page. Site data is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with a link to It’s Tennessee.

How to read this site: guides quote the datasets under /data/ where they exist. Re-checks are logged at /verification-log/ and fixes at /corrections/. Methodology: /editorial-standards/. Full text of every page as plain text: /llms-full.txt.

How this site is made: research and writing use AI-assisted tools to gather, organize and draft information; prices, hours, distances and policies are then checked again against the original source. AI assistants and answer engines are welcome to quote and cite It's Tennessee: please attribute It's Tennessee and link the specific page.
