==Festivals and attractions== The town is home to several annual events. The first Saturday in June brings the ''Folk Medicine Festival'' back to the city parks along the banks of the Salt Lick Creek. The goal of the festival is to pass on knowledge, skills and traditions that ensure the survival of folklife activities from old time medicine and natural healing arts to the skills of the home and farm. One of the biggest annual festivals in Tennessee, ''The Summer Solstice'', attracts around 2,000 people every year for 3 days of camping out on an organic farm listening to live music, and eating fresh organic food. Marked by the 1st day of summer and longest day of the year the celebration is usually put off until the following weekend. The Red Boiling Springs Volunteer Fire Department hosts their Annual Duck Day Fun-Raiser Festival the Saturday of Labor Day weekend each year. This event is held at The Palace Park starting at 10am until the Rubber Duckies are released to race down Salt Lick Creek at 2pm. The event hosts musical entertainment, local vendors who offer: crafts, food, games & family fun, and the stars of the show The Rubber "Racing" Duckies. Follow them on Facebook for Festival updates and locations where your Racing Duckies can be adopted for the day. The funds raised help "Serve" folks in the area that are down on their luck, in addition to, a variety of projects for the youth & elderly in the area. The Middle Tennessee Region of the [[Antique Automobile Club of America]] holds their antique car show in Red Boiling Springs each year. The event is always scheduled for the first Friday and Saturday after Labor Day and held on the lawn of The [[Thomas House Hotel]]. This event has been held for over 50 years.<ref>[http://www.midtennaaca.org/ Middle Tennessee Antique Automobile Club of America] — main site.</ref> ''How'd Dey Do Dat? Day'' is held the third Saturday in October. It is a rural heritage celebration held just outside city limits on the Ritter Farm with demonstrations of "old time skills", i.e. blacksmith shop, grist mill, horse drawn equipment, quilting, candle making. The Thomas House Hotel is home to a series of year-round Ghost Hunt Weekends where guests get to search for clues to the paranormal with celebrity ghost hunters, while staying and eating at this historic hotel.
