Decaturville Main Street Festival

The Main Street Festival is held each year in the fall. This fun-filled event is sponsored by the Main Street Decaturville Association.

There is always a variety of activities planned for all ages. Parents and adults can enjoy local and out of town craft and merchant vendors, sidewalk sales, and auctions along with delicious treats including funnel cakes, chicken on a stick, burgers, and hot dogs. Children may enjoy party jumpers, petting zoo,  and games. Be sure to bring your bicycle and test your skill in the bicycle rodeo! The afternoon will be filled with local entertainment including a variety of singing, dancing, baton twirling, and good music along with old-fashioned “cake walks.” Bring your lawn chair and come enjoy the day on the Main Street of Decaturville!

Rivertime Players

The Rivertime Players are a group of volunteers in Parsons, TN who strive to provide a community-based performing arts organization for the purpose of presenting dramatic and musical theatre; presenting quality family entertainment; creating opportunities for children and adults to develop talents in all aspects of theatre arts; and fostering,  promoting, and increasing the public knowledge and appreciation of the performing arts.

The Rivertime Players were formed when Dr. Dawn Larsen donated to the Parsons Arts Council the last remaining repertory tent show in November 2006. The Rivertime Players are now caretakers of a historic cultural asset that can trace its roots to its founding 116 years ago.

The Toby Show is produced in September and October annually.

Other productions are staged as time and space allow. At this time we do not post a season. We hope to do so when a permanent space becomes available.

Central to our mission is preserving and continuing the repertory tent theatre experience.
