Corinth events will fill the calendar for the rest of 2026, from a chili cookoff and Halloween ComicCon this month to a Brantley Gilbert concert in November and the Corinth Christmas Parade in December. Visit Corinth, the city’s tourism office, posted a three-month “What’s Happening in Corinth” schedule on Saturday listing more than two dozen dates from October through December.
Some early-October items on the graphic have already passed or changed. The Oct. 3 concert at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center was canceled because of the weather forecast. The Fall Festival Green Market, listed for Oct. 3, was rescheduled to later in October. Visit Corinth said in a reply to a reader’s comment that the date on the graphic was an error, so check the Corinth Green Market’s own page for the current details.

Before you go
Visit Corinth’s graphic lists dates only. It does not give times, locations, or ticket prices for most events, and schedules can change because of weather or other conflicts, as the early-October changes showed. Check with each event’s organizer or with Visit Corinth before heading out. Visit Corinth’s office is at 215 N. Fillmore St. in downtown Corinth, and more information is available at corinth.net.
Out-of-town visitors coming for the bigger weekends have one more lodging option this fall, with the new TownePlace Suites now open in Corinth.
