Wow! We are incredibly grateful for the support shown at this year’s Mountain Man Rendezvous. In just two days, we’ve welcomed more guests than we did during all three days of last year’s event!

Unfortunately, due to the forecasted weather conditions and out of consideration for the safety and comfort of our vendors, campers, and blanket traders, the decision has been made not to open the Rendezvous on Sunday.

Thank you to everyone who came out, shared the event, and helped make this weekend such a success. We hope you enjoy a wonderful Father’s Day with your families, and we look forward to seeing you again at Kumberland Gap for Sorghum Days on October 10th & 11th!

Until then, safe travels and thank you for supporting local history and living traditions.

📢 Kumberland Gap Community Update

With very heavy hearts, we need to share that our Kumberland Christmas event scheduled for Saturday, November 29th has to be canceled this year.

The recent rain — and the forecast calling for even more heavy rain all day Saturday — has created conditions that would be unsafe, extremely muddy, and simply not enjoyable for our guests, families, volunteers, and vendors. We held out as long as we possibly could, hoping the weather would turn, but it’s clear that it's not going to.

This decision was incredibly hard to make, and we know many of you will be disappointed. Trust us… we are too. ❤️

We hope you’ll mark your calendars and join us back at the Gap for our Second Annual Mountain Man Rendezvous, happening Friday, June 19th through Sunday, June 21st 2026! We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for a great time when the grounds are safe and dry!

Our sincerest apologies, and thank you for your understanding and support.

Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas!
From All of us at Kumberland Gap 🤎🌲✨
