The 5th Annual Mayberry Lucy Festival is set to take place from Thursday, April 10 through Saturday, April 12, 2025, in Granville, Tennessee—affectionately known as “Tennessee’s Mayberry Town.” This beloved event promises to be bigger and better than ever before, offering a weekend filled with exciting activities, entertainment, and nostalgia for fans of The Andy Griffith Show and I Love Lucy.
The festival kicks off Thursday evening with a performance by the Mayberry Dinner Theatre, setting the stage for a weekend of tribute performances and family-friendly fun. Highlights of the event include appearances by Dixie Griffith, daughter of Andy Griffith, Karen Knotts, daughter of Don Knotts, and Dennis Rush who was Howie, Opie’s friend, as well as over ten talented Mayberry tribute artists. Fans of I Love Lucy will also be treated to performances by Carrie and Jeff Ketterman, who will pay tribute to Lucy and Ricky, along with Keith Thibodeaux, the actor who portrayed Little Ricky on the beloved sitcom, performing live on the drums.
Additionally, Wayne Euliss, a renowned Elvis tribute artist, will bring the King of Rock and Roll to Granville with his signature performances, adding another layer of excitement to this nostalgic weekend.
Throughout the festival, visitors will have the chance to participate in a variety of fun activities, including look-alike contests, candy-wrapping competitions, and more. In addition to the entertainment, Granville will offer an array of food, shopping, and craft booths, providing a truly immersive experience. Many activities are free with festival admission, while select sessions may require additional tickets.
