4. Southern Gospel Picnic

The Buzz -- Tapping into that classic festival combination of good food and good music, this theme-park event supplies a wealth of wholesome fare. A dozen stages feature classic Southern gospel – performed by groups, families, and bands – and concerts take place during daytime and nighttime hours. To maximize enjoyment, attendees sate themselves with homestyle comfort food, namely fried chicken, fried catfish, barbecue, and sides like baked beans and fried green tomatoes.
