The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in neighboring Manchester
The neighboring cities are hotspots for live music. "Tullahoma itself doesn't have much of a party life, but people have no problem going to Nashville for live music," Koziol says. Manchester hosts the annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which attracts some of the world's biggest musical acts.
Entertainment options within the city are limited. "Sporting events at Tullahoma High are a big deal, especially baseball and football games," Koziol says. "People get very invested." Beechcraft Heritage Museum has multiple hangars full of vintage aircraft that represent the history of the Beech Aircraft Corporation. The neighboring city of Lynchburg is home to Jack Daniel's Distillery, which holds tours.

"Folks who live here commute to all three," Koziol says. Tullahoma does not have access to public transportation, so residents depend on cars.
