The 19th annual Lavender Festival is Saturday, June 17, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., in Historic Jackson Square in Oak Ridge. The Lavender Festival is a perennial crowd favorite, full of tradition, fun, and always something new, a press release said. The festival celebrates all things herbal, crafts, local foods, and more.

Admission to the festival is free, with plenty of free parking available in surrounding city and business lots, and on side streets, the press release said.

As is tradition, a bagpipe player will open the festival at 8 a.m., playing from upper Blankenship Field into Jackson Square. Also keeping with tradition, Alan McBride will follow with the hammered dulcimer in the bandstand. A complete music schedule is found below.

Also returning for a second year is “A Taste of Tennessee Wines,” from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., benefitting the Free Medical Clinic of Oak Ridge. The tasting is hosted by Great Valley Wine Trail, which is made up of four independent wineries in East Tennessee. Your $10 tasting ticket is available at the gate (for those who are 21 with a valid identification). Tasters receive a complimentary wine glass, and if they purchase wine, a six-compartment wine tote. Customers are allowed to enjoy the wine outdoors in the Square during festival hours, with lunch served all day by plenty of food vendors and food trucks, restaurants, and even hors d’oeuvres by Chapel on the Hill.

The Real Estate Office celebrated their new location in Oak Ridge with an Anderson County Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting on Friday, May 16, a press release said.

Formerly Briarcliff Realty, The Real Estate Office moved to its new location inside the Citizens First Bank building.

“One of the fastest-growing privately owned real estate companies in the area, The Real Estate Office is a full service, comprehensive real estate company,” the release said.

The ribbon-cutting was held in conjunction with their fellow Chamber member, Citizens First Bank, who offered a customer appreciation event complete with food, ice cream sundae bar, and giveaways, the release said.
