===Festivals and fairs===
There has been a fair in some form in Greene County since 1870 when the Farmers and Mechanics Association held its first exposition.  The present Greene County Fair Association was incorporated in 1949.  The Greene County Fair is recognized statewide as one of the best fairs of its size.  In 2021, the Fair received the First Runner-Up Award in the AAA Division.  In 2015, the Fair was recognized as the AAA Division Champion Fair in the state of Tennessee by the Tennessee Association of Fairs.  In 2005, we were honored to receive the Tennessee Association of Fairs highest award, the “Champion of Champions” fair trophy, and in 2006, the Fair received the “Champion of Champions Premier Fair” award.

The town is home to the Street Dance on Davis celebration, which is held annually on the weekend before Aug. 8, in remembrance of Aug. 8, 1863, the date when Andrew Johnson freed his personal slaves at his home in Greeneville.  This street dance is a celebration that includes live music, dancing in the streets, kids zones, and most importantly open dialogue that supports black history.  In recent years, The George Clem Multicultural Alliance has been the host of this celebration.  Although the celebration started as primarily involving the local African-American community, the event has expanded to celebrate the African-American community of East Tennessee.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.greenevillesun.com/news/local_news/community-street-dance-highlights-eighth-of-august/article_d48ae6d5-d809-57fd-8e80-6c45554ba95f.html | title=Community Street Dance Highlights 'Eighth of August' }}</ref>
