From Farm to Fork to Forsythia and every festival in between, make plans to attend these can’t miss events across the Southeast United States
ATLANTA, GEORGIA—AUGUST 2024—Southeast Tourism Society (STS) is dedicated to promoting and developing tourism in its member states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. On September 14, 1983, a small group of industry leaders from the Southeast gathered for the purpose of organizing the Southeast Tourism Society (STS). Those charter members shared the mutual belief that regional promotion of tourism, via a partnership between states, would create a powerful marketing alliance unparalleled throughout our country. In 2023, in recognition of the unique, diverse and unparalleled events in the region, STS began the Signature Events award program. A Signature Event Award seeks to bring more publicity and recognition to the best events in the Southeast, whether it be media, attendees or both. These celebrations represent the soul of the South and serve as inspiration for future explorations of the Southeast region. Learn more about Southeast Tourism Society at www.SoutheastTourism.org.
